There are times when you think
about past and relate to your present. If things would have been in your
favour, life would have been better, indeed much better. I was reading some
meaningful quotes by Audre Lorde that I thought to blog for my readers. At
times, few lines can change your day, the way you think and want to live your
lifeJ
Quotes by Audre Lorde
If I didn't define myself for
myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten
alive.
I have come to believe over and
over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and
shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.
When we speak we are afraid our
words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still
afraid. So it is better to speak
I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.
It is not our differences that
divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those
differences.
The sharing of joy, whether
physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the
sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared
between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.
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.
Each time you love, love as
deeply as if it were forever.
There are no new ideas. There are only new ways of making them
felt.
Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can
you keep it all afloat.
Art is not living. It is the use of living.
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.
Life is very short and what we have to do must be done in the now.
Wishing all my readers a 'Happy Life'.....Keep Smiling:)............
