"The goal of accountability is to end harm through learning and growth. What's the goal of shaming? Shaming is more about the person who shames, and making themselves feel like they're better than another person."

-Kacen Callender, Lark & Kasim Start a Revolution

"I realized—what makes a story good—I think it's a trick question, because every single reader will always want something different, right? So to one reader, a book is good, and to another reader, the same book is bad, and in a way, that means every single book in the world is both good and bad, and that cancels each other out, so the answer is nothing makes a story good, in the end. They're just...stories. Kind of like people. There are no good people or bad people, and stories are just an extension of people, so...Yeah."

-Kacen Callender, Lark & Kasim Start a Revolution

"Maybe not. But does that make your voice less important? Does that mean stories or speaking your truth don't have a role in activism, too? I don't know about that. Our society wouldn't be the same without the writers who came before you. Use your voice, Lark. in the way that you can—in the way that you know how. Use your passion to help the world. It doesn't help anyone, does it? To force yourself to fit another person's idea of what it means to make change. I think just existing is enough. Just living and breathing and loving ourselves and each other. That's a way to fight back, too. Don't you think that's true?"
