Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman

We added a thousand false steps To our walk tracker today Because every step we’ve taken Has required more than we had to give.

We do not hope for no reason.
Hope is the reason for itself.
We don't care for our beloveds
For any specific, singular logic,
But, rather, for the whole of them.
That is to say,
Love is justified by loving.

Who are we, if not
what we make of the dark
