Truth Quote by Audre Lorde — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you. But for every real word spoken, for every attempt I had ever made to speak those truths for which I am still seeking, I had made contact with other women while we examined the words to fit a world in which we all believed, bridging our differences.”

“In becoming forcibly and essentially aware of my mortality, and of what I wished and wanted for my life, however short it might be, priorities and omissions became strongly etched in a merciless light and what I most regretted were my silences. Of what had I”

“If you come as softly”

“There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.”

“I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes--everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!”

“To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.”

“Use truth to fight the lies. Use the heart to fight the mind.”

“The happening and telling are very different things. This doesn’t mean that the story isn’t true,”

“After awhile you realize that putting your actions where your mouth is makes you less likely to have to put your money where your mouth is.”

“DNA tells you all the secrets of life,’ he used to say. Except for one—how to live it.”

“Some may remain imprisoned in a gridlock of lies or keep on blurring the lines between facts and fables, expecting us to buy the debilitating and fake narrative of their life, until they eventually end up on the chopping block of the inexorable truth. Be that as it may, one can “fool people some of the time, but not all of the time”. (“Bribe payers' index »)”
