    “She had to lean away.

    That slumbers in a brute.”

    “And though thou notest from thy safe recess
    Old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air
    Love them for what they are; nor love them less,
    Because to thee they are not what they were.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.”
    —Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
