More From Audre Lorde
- "The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower."
- "In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction."
- "When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid."
