Many things would be changed for Americans if they would only admit that there is ill-luck in this world and that misfortune is not a priori a crime.

— Simone de Beauvoir

Next Quote

White hate crimes, white hate speech. I still try to claim I wasn't brought up to hate. But hate isn't the half of it. I grew up in the vast encircling presumption of whiteness - that primary quality of being which knows itself, its passions, only against an otherness that has to be dehumanized. I grew up in white silence that was utterly obsessional. Race was the theme whatever the topic.

— Adrienne Rich
