Audre Lorde

"For the masterâ€™s tools will never dismantle the masterâ€™s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices."

“You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it.”
