“In white culture, forgiveness is synonymous with letting go. In my culture, I believe we carry pain until we can reconcile with it through ceremony. Pain is not framed like a problem with a solution. I don’t even know that white people see transcendence the way we do. I’m not sure that their dichotomies apply to me.”
― Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries

“I can't believe my reserve of water—from my nose and eyes. I have dormant fluid in my body, every woman does. I don't know if I am a cavern or a river. Once, you said I was a geyser: a hole in the ground—bursting.”
― Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries

“Hapiness was never important. The problem is that we don't know what we really want. What makes us happy is not to get what we want. But to dream about it. Hapiness is for opportunists. So I think the only life of deep satisfaction is a life of eternal struggle, specially struggle with oneself. If you want to be happy, just remain stupid. Authentic masters are never happy, hapiness is a category of slaves.”

“And when they spy on us let them discover us loving”
― Alice Walker, Taking the Arrow Out of the Heart
