“Love used to taste like you- but liberation tastes sweeter. Because it tastes like me.”

To truly taste the sweetness of the fruit, you must love the dirt it grows from.

You’ve got the kind of soul that leaves my heart open overflowing with the light you bring.

The things people try to destroy in you, are a reflection of the things they lack within themselves.

Your magic is too golden, too sky-opening, too hearts-bursting to be buried quietly away.

You are made from the dust of the star’s magic being birthed from every step you take.

Being afraid to love won’t keep you from getting hurt; it will keep you from yourself.

Alchemize what tries to poison you, into what inevitably heals you.

The moment only lasts as long as you don’t cling to it.

I am tired of not writing to you about how powerful it is, when you don’t need to feel beautiful to know that you are.

Your power exists within the pain you were asked to face.

You don’t want an apology, you want relief from the pain they caused you – so be the relief they never could be.

Your greatest self lies within the hands of your inner child- the you who used to chase their shadows instead run from them.

I hope you give freely to yourself all the love, that the world told you, you have to fight for.

The magic that lives in being loved for who you are in the shadows, not just for how you appear in the light.

An angel cannot be blind to the fire below – lest she risk becoming it.

Trying to reason with the poem is precisely how you lose it.

Sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What’s the line? I don’t have a line.

Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity, because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity.

As sound politics diffuse liberty, mankind, including woman, will become more wise and virtuous.

Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.

The fruit of too much liberty is slavery.

The enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgement of reason, and perverts its liberty.

There shall be no solution to this race problem until you, yourselves, strike the blow for liberty.

Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.
