Famous quotes containing the words dos and/or hooks:

    What’s the use, there never was a woman living who could understand political ideas.
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Separatism of any kind promotes marginalization of those unwilling to grapple with the whole body of knowledge and creative works available to others. This is true of black students who do not want to read works by white writers, of female students of any race who do not want to read books by men, and of white students who only want to read works by white writers.
    —bell hooks (b. 1955)
