Amanda Gorman (born March 7, 1998) is an American poet and activist. She gained widespread acclaim after delivering her poem ”The Hill We Climb” at the inauguration ceremony of President Joe Biden on January 20, 2021. Here are some notable quotes from Amanda Gorman:
”For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.”
”We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one.”
”Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished.”
”We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be: a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free.”
”We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace, and the norms and notions of what ’just’ is isn’t always justice.”
”Being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it.”
These quotes reflect Gorman’s themes of hope, resilience, and the need for positive change. She often speaks to issues of social justice and the power of unity and empathy in her poetry.
