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

Jean-Paul Sartre
This obsessing heart which does not correspond To my language, nor to my customs, And on which encroach, like a clinging-root, Borrowed feelings and the customs Of Europe, feel this suffering And this despair—equal to no other— Of ever taming with words from France This heart which came to me from Sénegal. - Haitian poet
Jean-Paul Sartre, Black Orpheus
