“By nature independent, gay, even exuberant, seductively responsive and given to those spontaneous sallies that sparkle in the conversation of certain daughters of Paris who seem to have inhaled since childhood the pungent breath of the boulevards laden with the nightly laughter of audiences leaving theaters, Madame de Burne's five years of bondage had nonetheless endowed her with a singular timidity which mingled oddly with her youthful mettle, a great fear of saying too much, of going to far, along with a fierce yearning for emancipation and a firm resolve never again to compromise her freedom.”

“Even today, regardless of the quarrels women may pick in the cause of emancipation, the reality is that, in the present world order, it's the men who eventually grant emancipation, not we women. ... it's the masters who freed the slave of the world, people belonging to the masterclass who fought for the cause. The slaves didn't earn their freedom by wrangling or arguing. That's the way things are. It's the law of the world: the strong emancipate the weak from the bondage of the strong. So also, men alone can liberate women. The responsibility lies with them.”

“Decoration Day--
created to honor
the enslaved African-Americans
in the Civil War
who fought for their own emancipation

“I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me; for, unless I am more deceived in myself than I often am, it is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. And if I can learn what it is, I will do it! These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am not to expect a direct revelation. I must study the plain, physical facts of the case, ascertain what is possible and learn what appears to be wise and right.”

“I鈥檝e long had reservations about the emancipatory rhetoric of past eras, especially the kind that treats liberation as a one-time event or event horizon. Nostalgia for prior notions of liberation鈥攎any of which depend heavily upon mythologies of revelation, violent upheaval, revolutionary machismo, and teleological progress鈥攐ften strikes me as not useful or worse in the face of certain present challenges, such as global warming.”

“Being okay with being gay, or different, means nothing until you love all of your gayness and different-ness. Really, the 鈥渕anliest鈥� move of all is just looking in the mirror, shutting out the noise of the world, and deciding to be nothing but yourself.”

“Whitewashed World (The Sonnet)
I once sent my sonnets for an official recognition,
They rejected me saying, I lack skill and significance.
It's a white people's world after all, like it or not,
We wouldn't want the little white poets to take offence!
My skin doesn't radiate the glory of talcum powder,
So I'm supposed to be thankful for the white hand-me-downs.
Mine is not to seek recognition in a whitewashed world,
Mine is to keep on struggling with my vigor's last ounce.
In a world where top white export is but oppression,
Everything is ten times less difficult if you are white.
A mermaid of color tickles the conquerors the wrong way,
White people's Nobel disproportionately goes to the whites.
Whether you recognize me or not, I neither care nor mind.
The reason I write this, so humankind becomes human and kind.”

“Erniedrigte Frauen funktionierten wie die Monsterkurve. Man knickte sie, knickte sie wieder, und sofort vervielfacht sich ihre Monstrosit盲t, raumf眉llend, selbstausweichend.
Verlassene Frauen nahmen monstr枚se Z眉ge an. Versto脽ene Frauen wurden zu Furien, zu Drachen, ein quasi nat眉rlicher Prozess, der allerdings beinhaltete, dass diese Frauen auch schon zuvor als Drache respektive als Furie galten. Jeder wusste, dass es solchen Frauen nur recht geschah, man wunderte sich meist, dass es nicht fr眉her dazu gekommen war, dass der Mann es 眉berhaupt so lange ausgehalten hatte, kein Wunder, dass er nur noch wegwollte, volles Verst盲ndnis, zum Gl眉ck keine Kinder.
Sp眉rte sie denn etwas, das Wachsen von Hauern, von H枚rnern, den triefenden Geifer, das schlangengleich kriechende, kringelnde Haar?”

“I thought about how Juneteenth is a holiday that inspires so much celebration, born from circumstances imbued with so much tragedy. Enslavers in Texas, and across the South, attempted to keep Black people in bondage for months, and theoretically years, after their freedom had been granted. Juneteenth, then, is both a day to solemnly remember what this country has done to Black Americans and a day to celebrate all that Black Americans have overcome. It is a reminder that each day this country must consciously make a decision to move toward freedom for all of its citizens, and that this is something that must be done proactively; it will not happen on its own. The project of freedom, Juneteenth reminds us, is precarious, and we should regularly remind ourselves how many people who came before us never got to experience it, and how many people there are still waiting.”

“These women have what [Emma] Goldman calls 鈥渆xternal emancipation鈥� - they have the job, the home, and the child. But larger forces premised on a particular type of job structure, home life, and mothering trap them in their emancipation. Essentially, these new opportunities for women do not form a cohesive package. In the United States, making it all work is up to these women individually.”

“As batatas. Olha as batatas dentro de um cesto de vime e pela primeira vez sente a boca cheia d鈥櫭ua. Precisa descasc谩-las, mas tem pregui莽a. Sua m茫e descascava todas, perfeitamente, como se participasse de um concurso em que um mil铆metro de casca fosse desclassific谩-la. D谩 de ombros. Com a m茫e morta, a cozinha sendo sua, o direito de n茫o descascar as batatas 茅 desafiador, mas ainda um direito.”
