“من از هر چیزی که انسان را کوچک کند، از هر چیزی که بکوشد خردمندی و اعتماد و تیزهوشی او را کاهش دهد بیزارم. زیرا نمی پذیرم که خردمندی، همیشه با تأنی و عدم اعتماد همراه باشد.”

“No, you two always get in the way of my brilliance,” the Chrome man said to himself, looking at his wife and daughter, stabbing the heart in the center of the table with a fork. “I have no human heart anymore, and you cannot torture me.” Hubert cut the heart, filleting it, yet there was no blood or Chrome liquid; it was empty. Then, Hubert threw the heart at the wall, but it returned to the table like it was not cut at all. Then the room became dark, and Hubert’s face dishevels, and he drinks more tea. There is one dim light in the room as he does so, with his face toward the table. Sennin appeared only to Dorothy’s eye, saying, “See how discontent in one room brings ruin?” Dorothy replied as she approached the next door, gentle and softly, “More like blissful delusion.”

“Il existe un langage pour ainsi dire de la peau et du sang par où le secret du secret se transmet de l'un à l'autre avec une sûreté infaillible, révélant, je veux bien, dans un monsieur quelconque, le battement angoissé d'un cœur. Et par ce chemin, tous les hommes pourraient me devenir fraternels, je pourrais me reconnaître en chacun d'eux et les aimer. Il y a des jours où j'ai été tout près de le faire, où ce sentiment poignant d'un malheur commun dans une fraternité commune a désarmé ma haine.”

“Most humans didn't love one another nohow, and this mislove was so strong that even common blood couldn't overcome it all the time. She had found a jewel down inside herself and she had wanted to walk where people could see her and gleam it around. But she had been set in the market-place to sell. Been set for still-bait. When God had made The Man, he made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over. Then after that some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed. So they beat him down to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song. So they covered each one over with mud. And the lonesomeness in the sparks make them hunt for one another, but the mud is deaf and dumb. Like all the other tumbling mud-balls, Janie had tried to show her shine.”

“There are no absolutes as to how to bridge these gaps between women of color and white women. We can lay out theories and ideas of how to do it step-by-step, but at the end of the day, white people have to care about restoring their own humanity so that BIPOC and other invisible minorities can live in peace and thrive.”
