“Men only have it all by being willing to take from others. To ruin lives, to oppress.”
Adriana Herrera, An Island Princess Starts a Scandal

“It’s the same as Scots English,” she explained. “It’s not your tongue, it was forced on you, and like your whisky you’ve blended it into something that’s your own.

“Nobody who's lived an anyway decent amount of life remembers everything.”
Niall Williams, This Is Happiness

Vanessa Walters, The Nigerwife

“Just because some Africans enslaved rival tribes before European arrival, doesn't mean all Africans enslaved. Buying/selling humans was unthinkable to peaceful tribes like our Lenape, and the San of Africa.”
