“A mí me intrigan más las aves a las que parasitan. Según yo, saben que no son sus crías y aun así las cuidan y las atienden. Yo pienso que llega un punto en que todas las madres nos damos cuenta de esto: tenemos a los hijos que tenemos, no a los que imaginábamos o a los que nos hubiera gustado tener, y es con ellos con quienes nos toca lidiar.»”

“Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women;
those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference -- those of us who are
poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older -- know that survival is not an
academic skill. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For
the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us
temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about
genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the
master's house as their only source of support.”

“It is unthinkable and monstrous in patriarchy for women to demonstrate that we care as much about justice and dignity, as much about freedom for ourselves and our sisters -- to the laying down of our lives, if necessary -- as men and women have always cared about justice and freedom for men. It is the ultimate anti-patriarchal act. It is heresy. It is revolution.”
