All AUDRE LORDE Quotes about “Enemies”

“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.”
“Black women sharing close ties with each other, politically or emotionally, are not the enemies of Black men.”
