...oppression is as American as apple pie... - Audre Lorde

"I am deliberate and afraid of nothing."

"The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot."

"I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes--everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!"

"Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge."

"I am deliberate and afraid of nothing."
