"Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power—not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist."
"But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it… My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."
"Don’t confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are."
"Your Great-Grand mother was so holy, so holy they couldn’t comprehend her light so they tried to beat her holiness out of her. They cut her tongue still she sang her God. They removed her eyes still she was guided by her ancestors. Your Great-Grand mother was so powerful, so powerful she still lives in you, refusing to step back when they try to break you. Refusing to step back when they tried to divide your land. Refusing to step back when they tried to erase your history. Your history was before the wash, before the stain. Your history will keep standing because your Great-Grand mothers were great. Never forget to water your roots. You are one of a holy kind."
