‎Once we recognize what it is we are feeling, once we recognize we can feel deeply, love deeply, can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy.

We must recognize and nurture the creative parts of each other without always understanding what will be created.

For we have built into all of us, old blueprints of expectation and response, old structures of oppression and these must be altered at the same time that we alter the living condition which are the result of those structures. For the master's tool will never dismantle the master's house.

Institutionalized rejection of difference is an absolute necessity in a profit economy which needs outsiders as surplus people.

Unless one lives and loves in the trenches, it is difficult to remember that the war against dehumanization is ceaseless.

Change is the immediate responsibility of each of us, wherever and however we are standing, in whatever arena we choose.

When we create out of our experiences, as feminists of color, women of color, we have to develop those structures that will present and circulate our culture.
