"How blessedly cursed is it to find yourself in the pages of a book. To have your life told to you by a stranger in the span of 400 pages. I’ve only just started this booked and I’ve cried at every page. No one will quite understand how much this book means to me (and my family)." Jun 18, 2024 05:47PM

Cherie Dimaline
“We go to the schools and they leach the dreams from where our ancestors hid them, in the honeycombs of slushy marrow buried in our bones. And us? Well, we join our ancestors, hoping we left enough dreams behind for the next generation to stumble across.”
Cherie Dimaline, The Marrow Thieves

Yaa Gyasi
“The family is like the forest: if you are outside it is dense; if you are inside you see that each tree has its own position.”
Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

Yaa Gyasi
“The need to call this thing “good” and this thing “bad,” this thing “white” and this thing “black,” was an impulse that Effia did not understand. In her village, everything was everything. Everything bore the weight of everything else.”
Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

Yaa Gyasi
“White men get a choice. They get to choose they job, they house. They get to choose to make black babies, then disappear into thin air, like they wasn't never there to begin with, like these black women they slept with or raped done laid on top of themselves and got pregnant. White men get to choose for black men too. Used to sell 'em; now they just send 'em to prison like my daddy, so that they can't be with they kids.”
Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

Audre Lorde
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
