Tell them about how you're never really a whole person if you remain silent, because there's always that one little piece inside you that wants to be spoken out, and if you keep ignoring it, it gets madder and madder and hotter and hotter, and if you don't speak it out one day it will just up and punch you in the mouth from the inside.

Tell Them About How You're Never Really

More From Audre Lorde

Before i studied the art, a punch to me was just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. after i learned the art, a punch was no longer a punch, a kick no longer a kick. now that i've understood the art, a punch is just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. the height of cultivation is really nothing special. it is merely simplicity; the ability to express the utmost with the minimum.
Art Simplicity Special
In my early teens, i read every bound volume of the magazine punch. every writer of any distinction in the english language, and i mean including america and england, at some time wrote for punch. jerome k. jerome, who wrote three men in a boat, i loved. i was very impressed when i read a piece by mark twain in punch, and realized that despite the fact that they were on different continents, jerome k. jerome and mark twain had the same kind of laconic, laid-back, "the human race is damn stupid, but quite interesting" attitude. they were almost talking with the same voice.
Attitude Stupid Mean
Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of an innocent and refreshing. so it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise. ... each piece seems to have a life of its own. every little piece or every big piece that i make becomes a very living thing to me, very living. i could make a million pieces; the next piece gives me a whole new thing. it is a new center. life is total at that particular time. and that's why it's right. that reaffirms my life.
Artist Giving Pieces
She comes to me when she wants to be fed. and after i feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. she's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. she's actually a very smart cat. she gets loved. she gets adoration. she gets petted. she gets fed. and she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why i say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.
Smart Stupid Cat
I have never believed the manmade global warming allegation, but i fully understand however the people who do. all it takes is a 105-degree day in july, and the normal reaction is, "man, it's getting hotter! i wonder if we're getting hotter?" when i was a kid, everybody wondered, "are we on getting closer to the sun?" this is a natural thing. this is really where the left is really smart. they have the ability to tap into what people of their own volition are already concerned about, and then they give 'em a reason, and they give 'em substantiation for it.
Smart Kids Men
To be just without being mad (and the madder you get the madder you get), to be peaceful without being stupid, to be interested without being compulsive, to be happy without being hysterical... smoke grass.
Stupid Mad Peaceful
