Power Quotes From Alison Armstrong
"We get disconnected when we think we're a version of each other. That's why we think we don't have to ask each other, what do you need? And we think we don't have to say what we need." — Alison Armstrong
""As long as I take men's power, I will never know my own. So after I gave up emasculating men, men became proactively caring for me, looking out for me, taking care of me, and warning me against bad people." — Alison Armstrong
"You can tell the question that people have in their head by what they interrupt you with. They interrupt with something that their own mind answered that compelled them. If you're speaking, you're mostly provoking thought, you're not being heard." — Alison Armstrong
