Quote by Etaf Rum

“Her family had always been told to classify themselves as white because of their Middle Eastern origins. But Yara had never considered herself white or been viewed as white by anyone else, and marking herself as such felt inaccurate, as though she were being simmered down, reduced until she were invisible.”

“Clearly, I believe in making the big bets and taking chances. They almost always pay off. Even if the immediate outcome is a bust, you usually learn something valuable that will ultimately serve your career. Maybe you'll discover what not to do, or how to manage a crisis, or how to persevere after a failure. It's important to keep in mind that with every new chance you take, there's an increased possiblity of pissing someone off.”

“Especially for girls of color, we're treated as lightning or gold in the pan--we're not treated as things that are going to last," [Amanda Gorman] said. "You really have to crown yourself with the belief that what I'm about and what I'm here for is way beyond this moment. I'm learning that I am not lightning that strikes once. I am the hurricane that comes every single year, and you can expect to see me again soon.”

“Ya burjuva ideolojisi ya da sosyalist ideoloji. Bunun ortası yok (çünkü insanlık "üçüncü" bir ideoloji yaratmış değildir; ayrıca genel olarak sınıfsal çelişkilerle parçalanmış bir toplumda, hiçbir zaman sınıflar dışı veya sınıflar üstü bir ideoloji olamaz). Bu nedenle, sosyalist ideolojinin her türlü küçümsenmesi, ondan her türlü uzaklaşma, burjuva ideolojisinin güçlendirilmesi anlamına gelir.”

“Yirmi yıllık duraklama ve işsizliğin ardından, bütün İngiliz sosyalist hareketi, halk kitlelerinin arzulanabilir bulacağı bir sosyalizm versiyonu üretmekten bile acizdi. İşçi partisi ürkek bir reformizmi savunuyordu, Marksistler modern dünyaya on dokuzuncu yüzyıldan kalma gözlükleriyle bakıyorlardı. Her ikisi de, tarımı ve emperyal sorunları görmezden geliyor ve orta sınıfları karşılarına alıyordu. Sol propagandanın boğucu aptallığı, fabrika müdürlerinden pilotlara, donanma subaylarından çiftçilere, beyaz yakalılardan esnaflara ve polislere, gerekli olan insanlardan oluşan sınıfları bütünüyle korkutup kaçırmıştı. Bütün bu insanlara sosyalizmi rızklarını tehdit eden ya da kışkırtıcı, yabancı, onların vereceği isimle "Britanya karşıtı" bir şey olarak görmeleri öğretilmişti. Yalnızca orta sınıfın en yararsız kesimi olan entelektüeller harekete yöneldiler.”

“Halkın hızlı bilinçlenmesi, örgütlenmesi için de sosyalist harekette aydınlara ihtiyaç vardır, özellikle ilk safhalarda. Bunu yapmak aydınların bir vicdan borcudur da, çünkü her okumuş kişi bu millete belirli bir paraya malolmuştur. Şu kadar yurttaşın okuma imkânını bulamaması pahasına o okuyabilmiştir.”

“A humour of reading books, except those of devotion or housewifery, is apt to turn a woman's brain... All affectation of knowledge beyond what is merely domestic, renders them vain, conceited and pretending.”

“When people become prisoners of daily habits and happen to be hostages of choices, which they made in the past, but which they finally do not actually want, they experience the need to abandon their corporeal prison at a certain time in life. ( "Corporeal prison" )”

“What women want as a class is irrelevant. I want to know about Aristotle. It is true that most women care nothing about him, and a great many male undergraduates turn pale and faint at the thought of him-but I, eccentric individual that I am, do want to know about Aristotle, and I submit that there is nothing in my shape or bodily functions which need prevent my knowing about him.”
