“The official erasure of any existence before enslavement – as if black Americans did not exist before the yolk and the chains and whip – has always created a passion for us.

Black people need to find out. We have to find out Who We Are and Where We Come From.”
― Bonnie Greer, A Parallel Life

“When I was a child, to call someone 'black' was an insult, a curse word, something that made you fight.
But to me it contains all of the history of oppression and resistance, of being close to the soil and the sky, of plain speaking. Of The Journey.”
― Bonnie Greer, A Parallel Life

“I was writing, writing all the time, in my head, looking out at the world.”
― Bonnie Greer, A Parallel Life

“But you must still know to respect other people's faith.'
'Why? We don't respect any other delusion. We lock up people who believe they're Christ, yet we're supposed to humour those who believe in him.'
'By definition, faith is irrational: a belief you hold against the normal rules of evidence.'
'In which case I believe in Jedi”
― Michael Arditti, The Enemy of the Good
