"When you do not tell the truth about your thoughts, feelings or actions, you are telling yourself that you are not worthy of the truth, that you are less than the other person, that you are only what others believe you to be. When you fear the judgements of others, you have given them the responsibility to judge you, the perogative to decide what is right and wrong for you, and the freedom to shape you and your life at their whims. ... Speaking the truth is believing in yourself."
--Danny Pharr: Personal Power essay, 2006 Wiches Datebook
