Quote by Mwanandeke Kindembo

“Education is the result of self-learning, being taught by one or more people. Learning is the key word here. Schools, colleges and universities only divide you into CLASSES according to your level of understanding.”

“Non è, per essere precisi, che non si sentisse amato. Ma non capiva perché i suoi insistevano tanto sul fatto che “uscisse fuori dal suo guscio”. Che cosa c’era di male in un guscio? Le tartarughe sopravvivevano sulla Terra da oltre duecento milioni di anni, addirittura da più tempo dei serpenti e dei coccodrilli. E le tartarughe vivevano anche molto a lungo. Certe tartarughe americane, le tartarughe scatola, superavano i cent’anni e avevano una vista e un odorato eccellenti. Le tartarughe erano veramente degli animali straordinari. Cosa sarebbe successo se le persone le avessero obbligate a uscire dal loro guscio duecento milioni di anni prima? Molto probabilmente non esisterebbero più. "Lettere dall’universo", Rizzoli, 2019”

“I will not stop living my queerness out loud. I will not stop raining my good queer love down on the world until we all have a seat at the table. Until expressions of love and identity are met with the wonder with which we should meet all evidence of goodness in a world as harsh and lonely as this one can be. Until the glitter of generations of fragmented hearts just like mine are finally welcomed all the way home.”

“We are afraid that our failures will mean that we will not be loved. But we don’t earn love. How we treat others does, of course, affect our relationships. I do not want to be near the man who beat me. I do not trust a friend who has repeatedly lied to me. But we are loved for who we are, not for what we do. Love is larger than what we do. Love moves through us, if we let it. One day I realized that I could love someone and still decide to separate myself from them if our behaviour together was repeatedly damaging to each other. I did not have to stop loving him. And if I love another for who she is, not because she earns my love with her actions, and the same must also be true for those who love me. This isn’t a license to treat those who love us badly, but it helps us step off the endless treadmill of doing for others, trying to be what we think they want us to be, in an attempt to earn their love. It doesn’t work: we can’t earn love.”
