“A bunch of Latinas at Pitzer College decided to let white girls know that they shouldn’t wear hoops anymore, because that’s appropriating a style.... I’ve never worn hoop earrings for the purpose of “feeling ethnic,” nor have I ever associated hoop earrings with a certain culture. They’ve always been an accessory I like. It’s really as simple as that....I can’t wear hoops because I didn’t “create the culture as a coping mechanism for marginalization”? I can’t wear hoops because I’m not a feminist? I can’t wear hoops because some Latinas can’t afford it? I can’t wear hoops because I refuse to buy into your hypersensitive BS?....Does anyone else realize how completely ridiculous that sounds?”

“it's vital to avoid a longtime error of leftist politics, starting with Marxism: failure to understand the powerful role in human society of subjective forces such as spirituality. That failure has opened the door wide to right-wing manipulation of spiritual hunger. That failure undermines the possibility of mobilizing masses of Latinos/as for whom faith has been an affirmation of heart in a heartless world. The bottom line in any organizing for social justice needs to be respect for others' needs, including spiritual needs.”

“EL DESEO" I El deseo es un pájaro que huye enjaulado muere libre un día regresa a la misma flor. II El deseo es un fantasma fugitivo cuando lo atrapamos desaparece libre, nos conduce más allá. III El deseo es un rostro que esconde muchos rostros. Si descubrimos el último todavía nos queda el próximo. IV Y nunca el deseo arrojó el ancla de modo que me vi obligada a navegar. V Convocaste contra mis deseos el principio de la realidad pero no es posible desear la realidad la realidad solo se la padece. VI Me negaste por tres veces en albas sucesivas siendo yo tu única diosa. Olvidaste tu fe entraste en la era del escepticismo.”
