Writing and the hope of writing pulls me back from the edges of despair. I believe insanity and despair are at times one and the same.

Power feminism is just another scam in which women get to play patriarchs and pretend that the power we seek and gain liberates us.

I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else's whim or to someone else's ignorance.

Contrary to what some folks would have us believe, it is not tragic, even if undesirable, for a person to leave a liberal arts education not having read major works from this canon. Their lives are not ending. And the exciting dimension of knowledge is that we can learn a work without formally studying it. If a student graduates without reading Shakespeare and then reads or studies this work later, it does not delegitimize whatever formal course of study that was completed.

If we want a beloved community, we must stand for justice.

We often cause ourselves suffering by wanting only to live in a world of valleys, a world without struggle and difficulty, a world that is flat, plain, consistent.

Changing how we see images is clearly one way to change the world.
