“For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time.

Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.”
― Audre Lorde

“If the earth needs night as well as day, wouldn't it follow that the soul requires endarkenment to balance enlightenment?”

“Language, when it finally comes, has the vigor of a felon pardoned after twenty-one years on hold. Sudden, raw, stripped to its underwear.”
― Toni Morrison, Love
