Quote by Karl Taro Greenfeld

“Before that, she was an elementary school teacher, until the state stripped the unions of collective bargaining rights in the Right to Learn Act, subcontracting public school education to for-profit corporations. She still missed teaching, but that was strictly an hourly-wage temp job now, for those lucky enough to get hired.”

“We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains. That’s what I want—to hear you erupting. You young Mount St. Helenses who don’t know the power in you—I want to hear you. I want to listen to you talking to each other and to us all: whether you’re writing an article or a poem or a letter or teaching a class or talking with friends or reading a novel or making a speech or proposing a law or giving a judgment or singing the baby to sleep or discussing the fate of nations, I want to hear you. Speak with a woman’s tongue.”

“Hatred is a knife. It cuts deeply into your abdomen at the Hara Point known as the Conception Vessel that holds the key to understanding your emotions. Hatred is a refusal to see the truth. Hatred is like a parasite swimming in your blood, holding your veins hostage to lies. Live with hatred and dive slowly into the hell realms of madness. Remove yourself from hatred and live in divine love known as empowerment.”
