bell hooks' quotes
- bell hooks -
(African-American author, feminist and social activist)
"If I were really asked to define myself, I wouldn't start with race; I wouldn't start with blackness; I wouldn't start with gender; I wouldn't start with feminism.
I would start with stripping down to what fundamentally informs my life, which is that I'm a seeker on the path.
I think of feminism, and I think of anti-racist struggles as part of it. But where I stand spiritually is, steadfastly, on a path about love."
"Love is an action, never simply a feeling."
