"Your Silence will not protect you.........And it is never without fear - of visability, of harsh light of scrutiny and perhaps judgement, of pain, of death. But we have lived through all of those already , in silence, except death.......If I were to be born mute or taken a vow of silence my whole life long for safety , I would still have suffered, and I would still die."
I just finished watching North Country and it really made me think of these quotes from Audre Lorde's The transformation of Silence in to language and action

Hi! I'm so glad you've made available this quote from Audre Lorde. She is a guiding light for Ubuntu, a woman of color survivor led coalition to end gendered violence in Durham, North Carolina. Check us out sometime: http://iambecauseweare.wordpress.com/
All the best to you in this "journey called life". Your fierceness and survival is an inspiration.
