Quotes by Jacqueline Roy (?)

“He views it as a black thing, a savage thing, I see it in his eye. All the time they just keep on provoking us. Then when we strike back, it proves all the prejudice they carry in their hearts.”
― Jacqueline Roy, The Fat Lady Sings

“I would say how the mighty have fallen, but I never been mighty in my life unless you talk in terms of width.”
― Jacqueline Roy, The Fat Lady Sings

“She took sick back home so she never got to see the mother country. Funny phrase, that. Britain gives the kind of mothering that would fetch the social workers in.”
― Jacqueline Roy, The Fat Lady Sings
