‘Perfectionism is the Voice of the Oppressor’ — Anne Lamott Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Muscle Tank

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor.” Anne Lamott wrote this in her 1994 writing manual Bird by Bird, naming the internal editor that kills the work before it can start.
