Audre Lorde Quotes

I Have Found That Battling Despair Does Not Mean Closing My Eyes To The Enormity Of The Tasks Of Effecting Change, Nor Ignoring The Strength And The Barbarity Of The Forces Aligned Against Us. It Means Teaching, Surviving And Fighting With The Most Important Resource I Have, Myself, And Taking Joy In That Battle. It Means, For Me, Recognizing The Enemy Outside, And The Enemy Within, And Knowing That My Work Is Part Of A Continuum Of Women's Work, Of Reclaiming This Earth And Our Power, And Knowing That This Work Did Not Begin With My Birth Nor Will It End With My Death. And It Means Knowing That Within This Continuum, My Life And My Love And My Work Has Particular Power And Meaning Relative To Others.
