Remembering Audre Lorde
Excerpt from The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house
Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference -- those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older -- know that survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master's house as their only source of support.

A day in the life: Robert Motherwell
I believe that painters' judgements of painting are first ethical, then aesthetic, the aesthetic judgements flowing from an ethical context…
Without ethical consciousness, a painter is only a decorator.
Without ethical consciousness, the audience is only sensual, one of aesthetes.
Robert Motherwell, quoted by Steven Tonkin, National Gallery of Australia
