Quote by Michelle Obama

“A szüleink belénk verték a megfelelő hanglejtés fontosságát, nem haraphattuk el a szavak végét, nem tűrtek semmiféle hányaveti ragozást. Azt tanultuk, hogy rendesen ki kell ejteni a szavakat."(...) (Dandy is hatással volt ránk, pedánsan kijavította a nyelvtani hibáinkat, vagy ebéd közben ránk szólt, hogy artikuláljunk rendesen. A cél az volt, hogy felülmúljuk önmagunkat, és előrébb jussunk. Mindezt kó előre gondosan eltervezték. Erre ösztönöztek minket. Nemcsak azt várták el tőlünk, hogy okosak legyünk, hanem azt is, hogy felvállaljuk az eszünket - hogy büszkék legyünk rá -, és ez megmutatkozott beszédünkben is. Minden azonban problémákat okozhatott. Egy bizonyos beszédmód - a fehér stílus, ahogyan egyesek nevezték - árulásnak hatott, fellengzősnek, mintha megtagadtuk volna saját kultúránkat.”

“If unloving mothers were able to see their behavious as abusive, they either would stop behaving that way or they would get help for their dysfunction. But many cannot: instead, they deny it, to themselves, their families, and the world at large, in order to avoid a sense of guilt, to avoid having to make changes in their lives, or to avoid the bruising awareness that they, too, were unloved children.”

“If you are told from the time you are one month that you're no good and you're not smart and you can't do it and you don't have an opinion of your own and you pick the wrong friends and you don't study the right way and you don't wear the right clothes and you don't look nice, at some point you're going to start believing it. And if you believe it, you're going to need a mommy to tell you what to do. And that's abuse. Not to let your child grow up to be an independent, respected human being.”
