Famous quotes by audre lorde:

    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)

    The difference between poetry and rhetoric
    is being
    ready to kill
    yourself
    instead of your children.
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)

    Our visions begin with our desires.
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)

    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)

    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)
