Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman

It will be a blessing if our children
Never fully grasp what
It took to come to this.
Grant them this poem
If they do forget it.
If they do, forget it.

There are some of us who, when experiencing a tragedy or comedy in our lives, already think: How will this be told to another ? Can it be told? How can we possibly begin the story of what has happened to us?

Poke the scar until it speaks.
This is how every memory starts.

Somehow, we’ve weathered and witnessed A nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. - Amanda Gorman
