“चिखुरी को अभी खेत-खलिहान का फर्क समझ नहीं आया है। वह तो यह भी नहीं जानती की वह कहाँ रहती है! यह पेड़ कहाँ पर उगा हुआ है, यह कोई शहर है या गाँव है? दरअसल उसे यह जानने की ज़रूरत ही नहीं पड़ी कि वह धरती के किस हिस्से में रहती है। भूख के समय उसे भोजन मिल जाता है और प्यास लगने पर पानी का इंतज़ाम भी हो जाता है। इससे आगे की चिंता उसे अब तक हुई ही नहीं। अभी वह नहीं जानती कि मौसम बदलते भी हैं और बदलाव अपने साथ संघर्ष लाता है।”

“And where the words of woneb are crying to be heard, we must each of us recognize our responsibility to seek those words out, to read them and share them and examine them in their pertinence to our lives. That we not hide behind the mockeries of separations that have been imposed upon us and which so often we accept as our own: for instance "I can't possibly teach Black women's writing- their experience is so different from mine," yet how many years have you spent teaching Plato and Shakespeare and Proust? Or another: "She's a white woman and what could she possibly have to say to me?" Or, "she's a lesbian, what would my husband say, or my chairman?" Or again, "This woman writes of her sons and I have no children." And all the other endless ways in which we rob ourselves of ourselves and each other.”
