Quotes by Camille T. Dungy (?)

“A person who isn't reminded several times a day about the implications of the color of her skin has time to consider the implications of other things.”

“The green of growing things calms me. Plants stabilize me. And I am interested in the patience that is required as I wait for growth. For the politically engaged person—any of us—such patience is a key to survival. Patience is a kindness that carries me through long days and longer nights.”
― Camille T. Dungy, Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden
