“Originally, Sula opened with ‘Except for World War II, nothing interfered with National Suicide Day.’ With some encouragement I recognized that sentence as a false beginning.” Falseness, in this case, meant abrupt. There was no lobby, as it were, where the reader could be situated before being introduced to the goings-on of the characters.”
― Toni Morrison, Sula

“The unspeakable will be televised.”
― Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist: Essays

“To use folk language, vernacular in a manner neither exotic nor comic, neither minstrelized nor microscopically analyzed.”

“As with Inglourious Basterds using World War II, Tarantino once again managed to find a traumatic cultural experience of a marginalized people that has little to do with his own history, and used that cultural experience to exercise his hubris for making farcically violent, vaguely funny movies that set to right historical wrongs from a very limited, privileged position.”
