“I do not wish my anger and pain and fear about cancer to fossilize into yet another silence, nor to rob me of whatever strength can lie at the core of this experience, openly acknowledged and examined. For other women of all ages, colors, and sexual identities who recognize that imposed silence about any area of our lives is a tool for separation and powerlessness, and for myself, I have tried to voice some of my feelings and thoughts about the travesty of prosthesis, the pain of amputation, the function of cancer in a profit economy, my confrontation with mortality, the strength of women loving, and the power and rewards of self-conscious living.”
― Audre Lorde, The Cancer Journals

“Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world

“To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail.”
― Abraham Maslow
