‘You must be willing to suffer the anger of the opponent, and yet not return anger. You must not become bitter. No matter how emotional your opponents are, you must be calm.’

'The system that we live under creates people such as this youth. I am not interested in pressing charges. I’m interested in changing the kind of system that produces this kind of man.’

'The supreme task [of a leader] is to organize and unite people so that their anger becomes a transforming force.’

Oldie but goodie

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up [people] to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” -A.d.S.-E. (at NASA's Johnson Space Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO88qVbB45f6cAM0ii4q-z35GYDqHWgtQynnO40/?igshid=uoyebtj1z7m3

In her oral dissent to the Supreme Court’s majority opinion invalidating a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, RBG quoted a familiar MLK Jr. line, but added her own coda. “‘The arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice,’” but only “if there is a steadfast commitment to see the task through to completion.”

RBG spent her life pushing to bend the arc. It is now upon all of us.

May her memory be a blessing, and a revolution.

"Feminism… I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang. 'Free to be You and Me' Free to be, if you were a girl—doctor, lawyer, Indian chief; anything you want to be. And if you’re a boy, and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, that’s ok too. That notion that we should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriers—manmade barriers, certainly not heaven sent."
