“Ophie knew better than to ask such a thing, to wonder why it was that all the grown folks said nice things about people even even they were lies. She just took it as part of the unspoken rules of life, the same as "don't talk back to elders" and "clear off the sidewalk for white folks to get by" Things that had always existed, that she couldn't question or ague, any more than she could argue with the rain.”
― Justina Ireland, Ophie's Ghosts

“She cried because girls who believed in happily aver afters could be murdered in attics, and because men who just wanted to have their voices heard could have their words choked off forever. She cried for lost boys like Colin and for all the dead who still waited for someone to help them. And she cried because so many of them would be forgotten, their stories never remembered, never told. The task seemed impossible, and overwhelming, but someone would have to help them.”

“But Ophie had learned that the best way to survive in this world was to treat white folks, especially important white folks, the same way she treated snakes: cautiously, and with respect, whether they deserved it.”
