wonderful and thank you so much for telling us which ones you like, it's always interesting to know
did you notice they are both details from classical works of the late 19th and early 20th century? on a lot of browsers when you run your cursor over them the actual attributions will come up
Isn't it annoying when you see a great icon made from something and it has changed hands so many times you can't find any info the maker put in on it's origins so you can't go see more of their works?
I took the Audre Lorde one!

I loved the Audre icon! That quote has haunted me ever since I saw it a couple of years ago. Back then I wasn't bisexual and I didn't know who Audre Lorde was, I just saw her words on a bumper sticker. So I applied her quote to a lot of different examples to see if it held true. Like most quotes, it contains both truth and lie depending on the situation, but I think in reference to activism, it's very true. Thank you for making these!

You are most welcome. You make them and YOU like them and put them out there never knowing what will happen. It is gratifying and interesting to know that people like them and also which ones and why.
It seems to me that Audre Lorde's quote speaks to the same concepts as the famous quote from an anti-Nazi Pastor in WWII Germany:
"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."
