Toni Morrison
“Misery colored by the greens and blues in my mother's voice took away all the grief out of the words and left me with a conviction that pain was not only endurable, it was sweet.”
Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

Dionne Brand
“There were Italian neighbourhood and Vietnamese neighbourhoods in this city; there are Chinese ones and Ukrainian ones and Pakistani ones and Korean ones and African ones. Name a region on the planet and there's someone from there, here. All of them sit on Ojibway land, but hardly any of them know it or care because that genealogy is wilfully untraceable except in the name of the city itself. They'd only have to look, though, but it could be that what they know hurts them already, and what if they found out something even more damaging? These are people who are used to the earth beneath them shifting, and they all want it to stop-and if that means they must pretend to know nothing, well, that's the sacrifice they make.”
Dionne Brand, What We All Long For

Ralph Ellison
“I do not know if all cops are poets, but I know that all cops carry guns with triggers.”
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

“I no longer have the energy for meaningless friendships, forced interactions or unnecessary conversations. If we don’t vibrate on the same frequency there’s just no reason for us to waste our time. I’d rather have no one and wait for substance than to not feel someone and fake the funk.”
Joquesse Eugenia

Yrsa Daley-Ward
“You will come away bruised.
You will come away bruised
but this will give you poetry.”
Yrsa Daley-Ward
