Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman

We forget this immensity, it will still be ours, for we wrote such mysteries down: we did the thing others dared not. We collected all the dazzling & dangerous & dreamed aches, scrapped them, though we did not yet have words by which to map them.

Not because we will never again know defeat, But because we will never again sow division. - Amanda Gorman
