“Love between two people is up close, disheveled - a melange of past, present, future love and acrimony. And this is how I must love my mother. Love her the way I want her to love my father again.”
― Ivelisse Rodriguez, Love War Stories
“He is more shattered than I thought, a man made up of pieces that don't connect.”
― Ivelisse Rodriguez, Love War Stories
“I didn't want you to be a woman. It is a terrible thing to be a woman. One day, you will thank me.”
― Ivelisse Rodriguez, Love War Stories
“But when we got home, my mother thrashed out her words, letting them bounce off the walls. She would not have this, love is a farce, men do nothing but beat and trample on women and so help her God no daughter of hers was going to turn out to be a low-life basura de la calle. So she beat me, telling me all the while that this was the way the men would beat me. And for each stroke there was a story. She took me through history, through all the ages telling me about the plight of las mujeres.”
― Ivelisse Rodriguez, Love War Stories
