“In America my mother has eyes as strong as boulders, never once skittering off a face, but she has not learned to place decorations and phonograph needles, nor has she stopped seeing land on the other side of the oceans.

(1983: 59)”
― Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts
