“The angers between women will not kill us if we can articulate them with precision, if we listen to the content of what is said with at least as much intensity as we defend ourselves agains the manner of saying. When we turn from anger we turn from insight, saying we will accept only the designs already known, deadly and safely familiar. I have tried to learn my anger's usefulness to me, as well as its limitations.”

“But anger expressed and translated into action in the service of our vision and our future is a liberating and strengthening act of clarification, for it is in the painful process of this translation that we identify who are our allies with whom we have grave differences, and who are our genuine enemies.”
― Audre Lorde

“Oppressed peoples are always being asked to stretch a little more, to bridge the gap between blindness and humanity.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“No woman is responsible for altering the psyche of her oppressor, even when that psyche is embodied in another woman.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches
