...and that visibility which makes us most vulnerable is that which also is the source of our greatest strength.

Out of my flesh that hungers and my mouth that knows comes the shape I am seeking for reason.

stoicism and silence does not serve us nor our communities, only the forces of things as they are.

To face the realities of our lives is not a reason for despair-despair is a tool of your enemies. Facing the realities of our lives gives us motivation for action. For you are not powerless... You know why the hard questions must be asked. It is not altruism, it is self-preservation-survival.

The transformation of silence into language and action is an act of self-revelation .

Without community, there is no liberation...but community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist.

The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings.
