“This is me saying, ‘I believe you.’ And I believe you are inherently valuable. Not as a character in some grotesque news cycle where your assault is all we know, but as a girl with hopes and dreams and ambitions and vulnerabilities and so much more growing up to do.”—Watch Melissa Harris-Perry deliver her powerful “Open Letter” to the Steubenville, Ohio rape victim.

“Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm; but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.”—T.S. Eliot (via c-ovet)
