"To speak means being able to use a centain syntax and possessing the morphology of such and such language, but it means above all assuming a culture and bearing the weight of a civilization."

"Whether he likes it or not, the black man has to wear the livery the white man has fabricated for him."

"Looking at his face, it sometimes came to her that all women had been cursed from the cradle; all, in one fashion or another, being given the same cruel destiny, born to suffer the weight of men."
