Book cover for In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Prose
But please remember, especially in these times of groupthink and the right-on chorus, that no person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended. Or ...more

Jean-Paul Sartre
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Jean-Paul Sartre

N.K. Jemisin
“La gente lo ha capito lo stesso. Le voci sono bastate a non farlo adottare dalla com sotto il capovillaggio precedente. Naturalmente, io gli ho offerto il nome della com una mezza dozzina di volte, ormai".
"Se rinuncio a Ferrigno" replica Cutter. Fa ancora quel suo sorriso sottile.
Ykka abbassa la mano. Ha la mascella contratta. "Negare ciò che sei non ha impedito agli altri di saperlo".
"E ostentarlo non è ciò che ti ha salvato".”
N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season

Octavia E. Butler
“The child in each of us Knows paradise. Paradise is home. Home as it was Or home as it should have been. Paradise is one’s own place, One’s own people, One’s own world, Knowing and known, Perhaps even Loving and loved. Yet every child Is cast from paradise— Into growth and destruction, Into solitude and new community, Into vast, ongoing Change.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Octavia E. Butler
“I have also read that the Pox was caused by accidentally coinciding climatic, economic, and sociological crises. It would be more honest to say that the Pox was caused by our own refusal to deal with obvious problems in those areas. We caused the problems: then we sat and watched as they grew into crises.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Octavia E. Butler
“he still knows how to rouse his rabble, how to reach out to poor people, and sic them on other poor people. 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?”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents
