"Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low."

"Let your love be the light of your life. Now enlighten the whole world with the brightness of that light."

Akiroq Brost

"The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much. In public affairs, in the rebuilding of civilization, something less dramatic and emotional is needed, namely tolerance."

"I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult."

Quote_1.png
Akiroq Brost

"The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other."

Quote_1.png
Akiroq Brost

"When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned; they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny; they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar."

"Three great lessons for my children; love God, love yourself and love your neighbour as yourself."

Quote_1.png
Akiroq Brost

"In Christ the middle wall of partition has been broken down. There is no Jew, no Gentile-no black, white, yellow, or red. We could be one great brotherhood in Jesus Christ. However, until we come to recognize Him as the Prince of Peace and receive His love in our hearts, the racial tensions will increase, racial demands will become more militant, and a great deal of blood will be shed. The race problem could become another flame out of control!"

"What woman here is so enamored of her own oppression that she cannot see her heelprint upon another woman's face? What woman's terms of oppression have become precious and necessary to her as a ticket into the fold of the righteous, away from the cold winds of self-scrutiny?"

Audre Lorde
"But anger expressed and translated into action in the service of our vision and our future is a liberating and strengthening act of clarification, for it is in the painful process of this translation that we identify who are our allies with whom we have grave differences, and who are our genuine enemies."

"Your silence will not protect you."
Quote_1.png
Audre Lorde

"The sixties were characterized by a heady belief in instantaneous solutions."
Quote_1.png
Audre Lorde
"However, experience has taught us that action in the now is also necessary, always. Our children cannot dream unless they live, they cannot live unless they are nourished, and who else will feed them the real food without which their dreams will be no different from ours? 'If you want us to change the world someday, we at least have to live long enough to grow up!' shouts the child."

"What gets me about the United States is that it pretends to be honest and therefore has so little room to move toward hope."
Quote_1.png
Audre Lorde

"But the true feminist deals out of a lesbian consciousness whether or not she ever sleeps with women."
Quote_1.png
Audre Lorde
"But the question is a matter of the survival and the teaching. That's what our work comes down to. No matter where we key into it, it's the same work, just different pieces of ourselves doing it."
