“…I … believe that words can help us move or keep us paralyzed, and that our choices of language and verbal tone have something—a great deal—to do with how we live our lives and whom we end up speaking with and hearing; and that we can deflect words, by trivialization, of course, but also by ritualized respect, or we can let them enter our souls and mix with the juices of our minds.”
-Adrienne Rich
“What I think the political correctness debate is really about is the power to be able to define. The definers want the power to name. And the defined are now taking that power away from them.”
- Toni Morrison
Two quotes that are as relevant now as they were when first written. I normally keep this kind of thing separate from the web page, but it is a new year and I’m starting the year by “going back” to where my roots were most watered.
Thanks for stopping by and here is to hoping we all find that which drives us most and allow it to flourish.
Toni
