Hooks

Famous quotes containing the word hooks:

    “Separatism of any kind promotes marginalization of those unwilling to grapple with the whole body of knowledge and creative works available to others. This is true of black students who do not want to read works by white writers, of female students of any race who do not want to read books by men, and of white students who only want to read works by white writers.”
    —bell hooks (b. 1955)

    “Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever:
    Thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more;
    Senec and Plato call me from thy lore,
    To perfect wealth my wit for to endeavour.”
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    “... feminist solidarity rooted in a commitment to progressive politics must include a space for rigorous critique, for dissent, or we are doomed to reproduce in progressive communities the very forms of domination we seek to oppose.”
    —bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
