P.B. Flower
“Everyone's way of life was tied to the viewpoint of others. A general tone of acceptance was needed to navigate the world as a permissible citizen.”
P.B. Flower, i$UBSCRIBE

NoViolet Bulawayo
“These animals represented some of Jidada’s Chosen Ones, and were indeed proof of the Father of the Nation’s benevolence, for most of them had been made rich by His Excellency, if not directly, then through some kind of connection to him. They were proud recipients of gifts of land, businesses, tenders, government loans that didn’t need repaying, inheritors of confiscated farms, grantees of mines, industries, and all kinds of riches.”
NoViolet Bulawayo, Glory

NoViolet Bulawayo
“And I’ll tell you all right now that the one thing, if I’ve learned one useful thing in ruling and ruling and ruling, is that nowhere else does the power of any regime, no matter how tyrannical, lie than in the fear of the multitudes! I promise you once the governed lose their fear, then it’s absolutely game over for the regime!”
NoViolet Bulawayo, Glory

“Tholukuthi with what she now knew of her mother's past, of April 18, 1983, Destiny finally understood, and with a gutting clarity, that all that time, her mother wasn't really ironing clothes or material but was rather ironing some parts of herself.”
NoViolet Bulawayo, Glory

NoViolet Bulawayo
“Tholukuthi through these tales we learned there were in fact many untold narratives that were left out of the Seat of Power's tales of the nation, that were excluded from Jidada's great books of history. That the nation's stories of glory were far from being the whole truth, and that sometimes the Seat of Power's truths were actually half-truths and mistruths as well as deliberate erasures. Which in turn made us understand the importance not only of narrating our own stories, our own truths, but of writing them down as well so they were not taken from us, never altered, tholukuthi never erased, never forgotten.”
NoViolet Bulawayo, Glory
