Lumière:



You're neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad;
you're as much a part of what people call nature as anyone else;
only you're unexplained as yet -- you've not got your niche in creation.

~ Radclyffe Hall in The Well of Loneliness, 1928

Good one, Maya and Milli!

Lumière:


There's always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself
-- whether it's Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc.--
because that's the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else.
But once you do that, then you've lost because then you become acquired or bought by that particular essence of yourself,
and you've denied yourself all of the energy that it takes to keep all those others in jail.
Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat.

~ Audre Lorde
