“To know that one does not write for the other, to know that these things I am going to write will never cause me to be loved by the one I love (the other), to know that writing compensates for nothing, sublimates nothing, that it is precisely there where you are not--this is the beginning of writing.”

“My Chicana identity is grounded in the Indian woman's history of resistance.

Like la Llorona, the Indian woman's only means of protest was wailing.”
― Gloria Anzaldua, Borderlands / La Frontera
