Famous quotes containing the word hooks:

    Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever:

    To perfect wealth my wit for to endeavour.

    —bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    We are rarely able to interact only with folks like ourselves, who think as we do. No matter how much some of us deny this reality and long for the safety and familiarity of sameness, inclusive ways of knowing and living offer us the only true way to emancipate ourselves from the divisions that limit our minds and imaginations.
