Certainly! Audre Lorde was known for her powerful and thought-provoking quotes. Here are a few of them:
”Your silence will not protect you.”
”When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
”Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
”I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.”
”It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”
”I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.”
”The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.”
”If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.”
”I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t.”
”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.”
These quotes encapsulate Lorde’s commitment to self-empowerment, social justice, and the importance of speaking out against oppression.
