Famous quotes by audre lorde:

    Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)

    I am Black because I come from the earth’s inside
    now take my word for jewel in the open light.
    Audre Lorde (b. 1934)

    Some words
    bedevil me.
    Audre Lorde (b. 1934)

    I am fourteen
    and my skin has betrayed me
    the boy I cannot live without
    still sucks his thumb
    in secret
    Audre Lorde (b. 1934)

    The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
