Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman
Fundamentally supremacism means doing anything to keep one's soul conceit, even if it means losing one's soul.
It means not wearing the mask that would save you, because it would mean taking off one's privilege.
It means always choosing poisonous pride over preservation,
pride over nation,
pride over anyone or anything.
This realization is not ours.
It is.
Love the earth / like we've failed it. To put it plain / we have shipwrecked the earth [...] Listen. [...] / Our future nedds us / alarmed. Man is a myth / in the making. / What is now dust will not return, / not the beloveds / nor their breath [...] / Extinction is a chorus / of quiet punching / that same note.
