Quotes by Marie NDiaye (?)

“The beam of light flashed across her own face and she thought, Yes, me, Khady Demba, still happy to utter her name silently and to sense its apt harmony with the precise, satisfying image she had of her own features and of the Khady heart that dwelled within her to which no one but she had access.”
― Marie NDiaye, Three Strong Women

“Ce n’est pas sur un quelconque Vieux Père que s’exerce notre vigilance, ce n’est pas sur le Mississippi, ce n’est pas sur le Rhône ni sur le Danube : il ne fait de doute pour personne ici que la Garonne est d’essence féminine. Ce soir elle est brune, lourde, comme bombée.”
