You were just riding the wave.” ~ T.I.

We don’t always just sit at home, cook and take care of the kids.” ~ Yekaterina Samutsevich
- “People talking about politics usually start from the ass end backwards in that they think you have a political agenda, and then you make your work fit that cookie cutter.

I’m not interested in cutting the feet off my characters or stretching them to make them fit my certain political view.” ~ Margaret Atwood

The interpersonal things we do change the substructure of our systems. They are political.” ~ Charles Eisenstein
