Quotes

• “We are ill-favored, but still we endure. Every once in a while, we must scream this as far as the wind can carry our voices. “Nou lèd, nou la!” We are ugly, but we are here! And here to stay.”

• “Tante Atie once said that love is like the rain. It comes in a drizzle sometimes. Then it starts pouring and if you’re not careful it will drown you.”

• “I come from a place where breath, eyes, and memory are one, a place from which you carry your past like a hair on your head. Where women return to their children as butterflies or as tears in the eyes of the statues that their daughters pray to.”

• “All anyone can hope for is just a tiny bit of love...like a drop in a cup if you can get it, or a waterfall, a flood, if you can get that too.”

• “Some of us think we are accidents of literacy. I do. We think we are people who might not have been able to go to school at all, who might never have learned to read and write.”
