“The sea is a desert of waves,
A wilderness of water.”
― Langston Hughes, Selected Poems

“Instead of blue skies and sunshine, there are grey clouds and endless rain that seeps into your bones, your soul.”
― Cathy Cassidy, Angel Cake

“You are made of the same minerals as the rocks--the same water as the sea. You grow in the sun. You breathe air cleansed by trees. When are you going to get the message that you're a part of Nature?”
― Nancy S. Mure, EAT! Empower Adjust Triumph!

“Abel wanted a traditional marriage with a traditional wife. For a long time I wondered why he ever married a woman like my mom in the first place, as she was the opposite of that in every way. If he wanted a woman to bow to him, there were plenty of girls back in Tzaneen being raised solely for that purpose. The way my mother always explained it, the traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women. He’s attracted to independent women. “He’s like an exotic bird collector,” she said. “He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.”
― Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
