Bell Hooks Quotes

Writing Is My Passion. Words Are The Way To Know Ecstasy. Without Them Life Is Barren. The Poet Insists, Language Is A Body Of Suffering And When You Take Up Language You Take Up The Suffering Too. All My Life I Have Been Suffering For Words. Words Have Been The Source Of The Pain And The Way To Heal. Struck As A Child For Talking, For Speaking Out Of Turn, For Being Out Of My Place. Struck As A Grown Woman For Not Knowing When To Shut Up, For Not Being Willing To Sacrifice Words For Desire. Struck By Writing A Book That Disrupts. There Are Many Ways To Be Hit. Pain Is The Price We Pay To Speak The Truth.
