From Zami

A quotation from Audre Lorde's Zami:

"As infants, we had grown up in the subliminal echo of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's determinedly optimistic fireside chats.  We each had absorbed some of his prescription for progress: When times are hard, do something. If it works, do it some more.  If it does not work, do something else. But keep doing" (228).
