Sister Love Quotes

“Beware the terror of not producing.
Beware the urge to justify your decision.
Watch out for the kitchen sink and the plumbing and the painting that always needed being done. But remember the body needs to create too.
Beware feeling you're not good enough to deserve it.
Beware feeling you're too good to need it.
Beware all the hatred you've stored up inside you, and the locks on your tender places.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Love: The Letters of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker 1974-1989

“This is not a piece of paper, but my arm extending across all the damn miles between us to hold you and hug you with all the strength, we have had to gain from the pain.”
― Pat Parker, Sister Love: The Letters of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker 1974-1989

“A year seems like a lot of time now at this end - it isn't. [...] Don't lose your sense of urgency on the other hand, on the other, don't be too hard on yourself - or expect too much.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Love: The Letters of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker 1974-1989
