Imagine how much easier it would be for us to learn how to love if we began with a shared definition (Bell Hooks Quotes)
The transformative power of love is not fully embraced in our society because we often wrongly believe that torment and anguish are our ‘natural' condition (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Reviewing the literature on love I noticed how few writers, male or female, talk about the impact of patriarchy, the way in which male domination of women and children stands in the ways of love (Bell Hooks Quotes)
As females in a patriarchal culture, we were not slaves of love; most of us were and are slaves of longing - yearning for a master who will set us free and claim us because we cannot claim ourselves (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Power feminism is just another scam in which women get to play patriarchs and pretend that the power we seek and gain liberates us (Bell Hooks Quotes)

We often cause ourselves suffering by wanting only to live in a world of valleys, a world without struggle and difficulty, a world that is flat, plain, consistent (Bell Hooks Quotes)
The power of patriarchy has been to make maleness feared and to make men feel that it is better to be feared that to be loved. Whether they can confess this or not, men know that just is not true (Bell Hooks Quotes)
There must exist a paradigm, a practical model for social change that includes an understanding of ways to transform consciousness that are linked to efforts to transform structures (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Fluidity means that our black identities are constantly changing as we respond to circumstances in our families and communities of origin, and as we interact with a wider world (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Beloved community is formed not by the eradication of difference but by its affirmation, by each of us claiming the identities and cultural legacies that shape who we are and how we live in the world (Bell Hooks Quotes)
As more people of color raise our consciousness and refuse to be pitted against one another, the forces of neo - colonial white supremacist domination must work harder to divide and conquer (Bell Hooks Quotes)
If you do not know what you feel, then it is difficult to choose love; it is better to fall. Then you do not have to be responsible for your actions (Bell Hooks Quotes)
…there is not a day of my life that I am not critiquing myself to see if my politics are borne out in the way that I live and the way that I talk and present myself (Bell Hooks Quotes)
…move from emphasis on personal lifestyle issues toward creating political paradigms and radical models of social change that emphasize collective as well as individual change (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Knowledge rooted in experience shapes what we value and as a consequence how we know what we know as well as how we use what we know (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Naming oppressive realities, in and of itself, has not brought about the kinds of changes for oppressed groups that it can for more privileged groups, who command a different quality of attention (Bell Hooks Quotes)
One of the major differences I see in the political climate today is that there is less collective support for coming to critical consciousness - in communities, in institutions, among friends (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Hope is essential to any political struggle for radical change when the overall social climate promotes disillusionment and despair (Bell Hooks Quotes)
We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic (Bell Hooks Quotes)
It is important for this country to make its people so obsessed with their own liberal individualism that they do not have time to think about a world larger than self (Bell Hooks Quotes)
There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Racism has always been a divisive force separating black men and white men, and sexism has been a force that unites the two groups (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Young people are cynical about love. Ultimately, cynicism is the great mask of the disappointed and betrayed heart (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Only love can heal the wounds of the past. However, the intensity of our woundedness often leads to a closing of the heart, making it impossible for us to give or receive the love that is given to us (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Most of us find it difficult to accept a definition of love that says we are never loved in a context where there is abuse (Bell Hooks Quotes)
Abuse and neglect negate love. Care and affirmation, the opposite of abuse and humiliation, are the foundation of love. No one can rightfully claim to be loving when behaving abusively (Bell Hooks Quotes)
