Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman

Perhaps pain is like a name,
Made to sing just for you.

We’re more conditioned To contagion than combat. But a virus, just like a war, separates us From our fellow people. Yet if we are willing, the cut Can be an aperture, the hole Through which we reach for the whole Of one another.

Anxiety is a living body, Poised beside us like a shadow. It is the last creature standing, The only beast who loves us Enough to stay.

What are we, if not what we see in another. - Amanda Gorman
