Book cover for The Other Mistress
Once trust has been severed, often times it’s hard to salvage that trust, especially when it comes to the person you’d planned on spending the rest of your life with.

“My parents weren’t bad people, they were just the victims of victims—my made-up term for the people who are recyclers of their own emotional damage.”
Christopher Harlan, The Sick Parents Club

Octavia E. Butler
“How much of this nonsense does he believe, I wonder, and how much does he say just because he knows the value of dividing in order to conquer and to rule? Well,”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

“Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver, the other is gold. A circle’s round, it has no end, that’s how long I will be your friend.”
Christina Hammonds Reed, The Black Kids

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“The only reason you say that race was not an issue is because you wish it was not. We all wish it was not. But it’s a lie. I came from a country where race was not an issue; I did not think of myself as black and I only became black when I came to America. When you are black in America and you fall in love with a white person, race doesn’t matter when you’re alone together because it’s just you and your love. But the minute you step outside, race matters. But we don’t talk about it. We don’t even tell our white partners the small things that piss us off and the things we wish they understood better, because we’re worried they will say we’re overreacting, or we’re being too sensitive. And we don’t want them to say, Look how far we’ve come, just forty years ago it would have been illegal for us to even be a couple blah blah blah, because you know what we’re thinking when they say that? We’re thinking why the fuck should it ever have been illegal anyway? But we don’t say any of this stuff. We let it pile up inside our heads and when we come to nice liberal dinners like this, we say that race doesn’t matter because that’s what we’re supposed to say, to keep our nice liberal friends comfortable. It’s true. I speak from experience.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah
