Zitate und Sprüche von Amanda Gorman

For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.

In its loudest, proudest song.

Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew.
That even as we hurt, we hoped.
That even as we tired, we tried.
That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious.

We are striving to forge our union with purpose.
To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man.

but simply unfinished.

only to find herself reciting for one.
