Liberation

[pjthompson]

Random quote of the day:


If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.

—Lila Watson and the Aboriginal Activists Group


(Thank you, geniusofevil.)


I recently read that Lila Watson doesn't like being credited for this quote. If you want to know why, go here. Attribution is a harrowing pursuit, I'm telling ya.

man, remember when you told me you were adding this to your quote list but not to expect to see it again for years? Well, either you were wrong, or it's been years.

I love that her name is the same as mine. You never see any good Lila's around. Just those naughty ones. That's why they should credit her with the quote. She has the best name.

It was in 2006. Don't you love it that I'm so anal I even know when I added the quotes?

And yes, Lila is the coolest name and she should be given full credit. That humility thing sucks.

Yeah, that's why I don't do it. You noticed!
