The Last Generation Quotes

“Fundamentally, I started writing to save my life. Yes, my own life first. I see the same impulse in my students-the dark, the queer, the mixed-blood, the violated-turning to the written page with a relentless passion, a drive to avenge their own silence, invisibility, and erasure as living, innately expressive human beings.”
― Cherrie Moraga

“A writer will write with or without a movement; but at the same time, for Chicano, lesbian, gay and feminist writers-anybody writing against the grain of Anglo misogynist culture-political movements are what have allowed our writing to surface from the secret places in our notebooks into the public sphere.”
― Cherrie Moraga

“* They say the world is broken;
yet, I only see love…
the kind that fills every heart around the globe with endless hope and unfounded fear for the new to come.
I see an end to every long lasting doubt
and a bright light inside the new dreams
of our generation.
(To see a future nowadays
is equal to threat.
Yet, we only seek understanding
while guiding the light.)”
― Laura Chouette
