Adrienne Rich
“Re-vision â€� the act of looking back, of seeing with fresh eyes, of entering an old text from a new critical direction â€� is for woman more than a chapter in cultural history: it is an act of survival. Until we understand the assumptions in which we are drenched we cannot know ourselves. And this drive to self-knowledge, for women, is more than a search for identity: it is part of our refusal of the self-destructiveness of male-dominated society.”
Adrienne Rich, On Lies, Secrets, and Silence: Selected Prose 1966-1978

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Harvey Fierstein
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.”
Harvey Fierstein

G.K. Chesterton
“Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
G.K. Chesterton, Alarms and Discursions

Lao Tzu
“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you.”
