More From Mignon McLaughlin

Well, i started out down a dirty road started out all alone and the sun went down as i crossed the hill and the town lit up, the world got still i'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings coming down is the hardest thing well, the good ol' days may not return and the rocks might melt and the sea may burn i'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings coming down is the hardest thing well, some say life will beat you down break your heart, steal your crown so i've started out for god knows where i guess i'll know when i get there i'm learning to fly around the clouds but what goes up must come down

If i were really asked to define myself, i wouldn’t start with race; i wouldn’t start with blackness; i wouldn’t start with gender; i wouldn’t start with feminism. i would start with stripping down to what fundamentally informs my life, which is that i’m a seeker on the path. i think of feminism, and i think of anti-racist struggles as part of it. but where i stand spiritually is, steadfastly, on a path about love.

Start her, now; give 'em the long and strong stroke, tashtego. start her, tash, my boy-start her, all; but keep cool, keep cool-cucumbers is the word-easy, easy-only start her like grim death and grinning devils, and raise the buried dead perpendicular out of their graves, boys-that's all. start her!

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.

It's like if you plant something in the concrete and if it grow and the rose petal got all kinds of scratches and marks, you ain't gonna say, 'damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from the concrete.' you're gonna be like, 'damn, a rose grew from the concrete?'

You just have to work, we all have to work really hard to take care of ourselves and feed ourselves good information, just like we feed ourselves good food. feed ourselves good books and good messaging and the things that make us feel like we can be connected with ourselves and others in a deeper way.

I am deeply distressed by what i only can call in our christian culture the idolatry of the scriptures. for many christians, the bible is not a pointer to god but god himself... god cannot be confined within the covers of a leather-bound book. i develop a nasty rash around people who speak as if mere scrutiny of its pages will reveal precisely how god thinks and precisely what god wants.

I love it when my books cause controversy, when people argue violently about the ending.
