Self-hatred leads to the need either to dominate or to be dominated.

We need to unlearn some of our respect for education, since it has undermined our respect for ourselves.

I believe a unique core self is born into every human being; the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.

imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born.

Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.
