"Don’t give me your tenets & laws. Don’t give me your lukewarm gods. I want an accounting with all three cultures - white, Mexican, Indian. I want the freedom to carve & chisel my own face, to staunch the bleeding with ashes, to fashion my own gods from my entrails.

It’s not even outrageous now, sadly.”
