Audre Lorde
“Tell them about how you're never really a whole person if you remain silent, because there's always that one little piece inside you that wants to be spoken out, and if you keep ignoring it, it gets madder and madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don't speak it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from the inside.”
Audre Lorde

Vincent van Gogh
“I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.”
Vincent Van Gogh

Audre Lorde
“Because the machine will try to grind you into dust anyway, whether or not we speak.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

Malcolm X
“When I am dead--I say it that way because from the things I know, I do not expect to live long enough to read this book in its finished form--I want you to just watch and see if I'm not right in what I say: that the white man, in his press, is going to identify me with "hate". He will make use of me dead, as he has made use of me alive, as a convenient symbol, of "hatred"--and that will help him escape facing the truth that all I have been doing is holding up a mirror to reflect, to show, the history of unspeakable crimes that his race has committed against my race.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Audre Lorde
“For we have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us.”
Audre Lorde
