“Old age is not meant to be survived alone," Man Rapadou said, her voice trailing with her own hidden thoughts. "Death should come gently, slowly, like a man's hand approaching your body. There can be joy in impatience if there is time to find the joy.”
Edwidge Danticat, The Farming of Bones

“The women in your family have never lost touch with one another. Death is a path we take to meet on the other side.”
Edwidge Danticat, Krik? Krak!

Edwidge Danticat
“I want to look happily forward. I want to be optimistic. I want to have a dream. I want to live in jubilee. I want my daughters to feel that they have the power to at least try to change things, even in a world that resists change with more strength than they have. I want to tell them they can overcome everything, if the are courageous, resilient and brave. Paradoxically, I also want to tell them their crowns have already been bought and paid for and that all they have to do is put them on their heads. But the world keeps tripping me up. My certainty keeps flailing.”
Edwidge Danticat, The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race

Edwidge Danticat
“The girl she said, I didn’t tell you this because it was a small thing, but little girls, they leave their hearts at home when they walk outside. Hearts are so precious. They don’t want to lose them.”
Edwidge Danticat, Breath, Eyes, Memory
