“If you come as softly
As wind within the trees
You may hear what I hear
See what sorrow sees.

If you come as lightly
As threading dew
I will take you gladly
Nor ask more of you.

You may sit beside me
Silent as a breath
Only those who stay dead
Shall remember death.

And if you come I will be silent
Nor speak harsh words to you.
I will not ask you why, now.
Or how, or what you do.

We shall sit here, softly
Beneath two different years
And the rich earth between us
Shall drink our tears.”
― Audre Lorde

“Everything is going to be fine in the end.
If it's not fine it's not the end.”

“Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always try to be a little kinder than is necessary?”
― J.M. Barrie

“The things he taught me were great things: that all racism was rotten, white or black, that everything is political;
that people tend to be indescribably beautiful and uproariously funny. He also taught me that they have enemies who are grotesque and that freedom lies in the recognition of all of that and other things.”
― Lorraine Hansberry, To Be Young, Gifted, and Black: An Informal Autobiography
