Quotes from Audre Lorde

My fear of anger taught me nothing.

While we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness the weight of that silence will choke us.

Once we recognize what it is we are feeling, once we recognize we can feel deeply, love deeply, can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy.

Tomorrow belongs to those of us who conceive of it as belonging to everyone; who lend the best of ourselves to it, and with joy.
