[O]nce we begin to feel deeply all the aspects of our lives, we begin to demand from ourselves and from our life-pursuits that they feel in accordance with that joy which we know ourselves to be capable of. Our erotic knowledge empowers us, becomes a lens through which we scrutinize all…” quote by Audre Lorde](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/330/audre-lorde-758_erotic_o-nce-we-begin-to-feel-deeply-all-the-as_1130884.jpg)
