Everyone harbours a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.

More quotes by Ani DiFranco

In any marginalized community, whether people identify themselves or not affects us all.

Whose veil is unremoved
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved.

The eyes of men without an orator.
