Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman

The densest despair takes
Us to no ordinary joy.
Sometimes diving
Into the deep inside us
Is the only way
We rise above it.

We were told to never use I when writing, because eliminating this voice makes arguments legitimate. But we realize there is nothing that convinces like the self does - our life, our body & its beating, proving it's own jagged point. Tell me what is more powerful than the unerased.

Since the world is round, There is no way to walk away From each other, for even then We are coming back together.

The same sapiens, we flooded our streets Demanding answers & change. To love is to be liable To ourselves & each other. - Amanda Gorman
