“The moment Eve bit into the apple, her eyes opened and she became free. She exposed the truth of what every woman knows: to find our sovereign voice often requires a betrayal.”

“How do we remain faithful to our own spiritual imagination and not betray what we know in our own bodies? The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy.”

“We know the quality of another’s heart through her voice.”

“Once you know that you have a voice,” Louis said, “it’s no longer the voice that matters, but what is behind the voice.”

“Each of us has one. Each voice is distinct and has something to say. Each voice deserves to be heard. But it requires the act of listening.”

“What other species now require of us is our attention. Otherwise, we are entering a narrative of disappearing intelligences.”

“Finding one’s voice is a process of finding one’s passion.”
