OMAR KHAYYAM, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

Marie Mutsuki Mockett
“My mother always told me that there is only one way a woman can be truly safe in this world. And that is to be fiercely, inarguably, and masterfully talented. This is different than being intelligent or even educated. (Satomi from Picking Bones From Ash)
Marie Mutsuki Mockett, Picking Bones from Ash

Pearl Cleage
“You can't save a person who doesn't want to be saved. It was like Mr. Eddie always told the new gardeners: Everybody's got to kill their own snakes.”
Pearl Cleage, Till You Hear from Me

Pearl Cleage
“Sometimes you have to show them what they want to see in order to get them to show you who they really are.”
Pearl Cleage, Till You Hear from Me
