Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman
Anyone who has lived
Is an historian & an artifact,
For they hold all their time within them.
Since the world is round, There is no way to walk away From each other, for even then We are coming back together. Some distances, if allowed to grow, Are merely the greatest proximities.
Our goal is never revenge, just restoration. Not dominance, just dignity. Not fear, just freedom. Just justice.
