not a saying necessarily, but people quote the “your silence will not protect you” line frequently, which is such a powerful saying of sorts, and i also think it’s even/much more meaningful when you’ve read the entire piece / know how Lorde is contextualizing those words.
i came upon this in a very fraught time in my life a few years ago and am so so grateful that i did ❤️🩹 i am not exaggerating when i say that genuinely this piece has in some ways saved me and inspired me in a multitude of ways the last few years. i reread it frequently!
