"We are all subjects in history...By recognizing subjectivity and the limits of identity, we disrupt that objectification that is so necessary in a culture of domination."
"If we want a beloved community, we must stand for justice, have recognition for difference without attaching difference to privilege."
"Writing is my passion. It is a way to experience the ecstatic. The root understanding of the word ecstasy — ‘to stand outside’ —comes to me in those moments when I am immersed so deeply in the act of thinking and writing that everything else, even flesh, falls away."
