Rebecca Solnit
“My friend Chip Ward speaks of “the tyranny of the quantifiable,â€� of the way what can be measured almost always takes precedence over what cannot: private profit over public good; speed and efficiency over enjoyment and quality; the utilitarian over the mysteries and meanings that are of greater use to our survival and to more than our survival, to lives that have some purpose and value that survive beyond us to make a civilization worth having.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

Rebecca Yarros
“One generation to change the text. One generation chooses to teach that text. The next grows, and the lie becomes history.”
Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

Rebecca Solnit
“Feminism is an endeavor to change something very old, widespread, and deeply rooted in many, perhaps most, cultures around the world, innumerable institutions, and most households on Earth—and in our minds, where it all begins and ends. That so much change has been made in four or five decades is amazing; that everything is not permanantly, definitively, irrevocably changed is not a sign of failure. A woman goes walking down a thousand-mile road. Twenty minutes after she steps forth, they proclaim that she still has nine hundred ninety-nine miles to go and will never get anywhere.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me

Hank Green
“You will always struggle with not feeling productive until you accept that your own joy can be something you produce. It is not the only thing you will make, nor should it be, but it is something valuable and beautiful.”
Hank Green, A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor

Rebecca Solnit
“Most women fight wars on two fronts, one for whatever the putative topic is and one simply for the right to speak, to have ideas, to be acknowledged to be in possession of facts and truths, to have value, to be a human being.”
Rebecca Solnit, Men Explain Things to Me
