Ladyfilosopher’s Quotes

“You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other.”
― Audre Lorde, The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House

“Yet all too often, guilt is just another name for impotence, for defensiveness destructive of communication; it becomes a device to protect ignorance and the continuation of things the way they are, the ultimate protection for changelessness.”
― Audre Lorde, The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House

“two sets of racial beliefs defined rape around the nation: “first, that black women could not be raped, and second, that black men threatened white female virtue.”
― Deborah Tuerkheimer, Credible: Why We Doubt Accusers and Protect Abusers

“Decisions to cut aid for the terminally ill, for the elderly, for dependent children, for food stamps, even school lunches, are being made by men with full stomachs who live in comfortable houses with two cars and umpteen tax shelters.”
― Audre Lorde, The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House

“But the strength of women lies in recognizing differences between us as creative, and in standing up to those distortions which we inherited without blame, but which are now ours to alter. The angers of women can transform difference through insight into power. For anger between peers births change, not destruction, and the discomfort and sense of loss it often causes is not fatal, but a sign of growth.”
― Audre Lorde, The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House
