meme: a sharing week, day six

[laulan]

Sorry, I keep forgetting to do this at a reasonable hour! I figure it still counts if I haven't gone to bed yet.

day one. a song
day two. a picture
day three. a book/ebook/fanfic
day four. a site
day five. a youtube clip
day six. a quote
day seven. whatever tickles your fancy

. . . my daughter, when I told her of our topic and my difficulty with it, said, "Tell them about how you're never really a whole person if you remain silent, because there's always that one little piece inside you that wants to be spoken out, and if you keep ignoring it, it gets madder and madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don't speak it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from the inside."

from "The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action" in Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde
