“My, Rómovia, už sme raz takí,
ukradli sme slnku bronz,
hviezdam žiarivé diamanty
a ozdobili si nimi zamatové oči.
Tmavej noci sme zobrali čiernu farbu na vlasy,
ohňu plameň náruživej a ohnivej lásky,
a víchrici temperament,
čo vynesie
vesmírnu loď na rómsku planétu!”

“Dětem ve školách bylo zakazováno mluvit romsky. Přišla jsem osobně do styku s iniciativními učiteli, kteří vybírali korunu pokuty za každé „cikánské“ slovo. Viděla jsem v jednom dětském domově dohola ostříhané děti za trest, protože mluvily cikánsky.”
