Quote by Mitta Xinindlu

“How can you not appreciate the beauty in your black skin? Why do you misjudge its value? Your skin neither cracks nor burns underneath the sun. Your skin compliments its rays; and in its heat, you stun. It is in your skin that the sun gets to reflect the strength of its rays. Have you noticed how your black skin glows in the sunny days? You ought to glorify the uniqueness of your black skin; because black skin neither cracks nor wrinkles at the touch of the soil. With a kiss of dust, your skin amplifies. In fact, your skin is the original seed in the gods' eyes. Even the day adorns your black skin as its beautiful lace; while the night wears it as its face. Maybe the air is mesmirised by your scent; because your black skin represents nature in its essence.”

“At dawn, after my death hours before, The sunlight will spread at seven o’clock as usual On these trees which I know. Greenness will burst, dark green shadows yield To the cruel-benign, indifferent sun. Indifferent will stand the trees in my own garden, Unweeping for me on the morning of my death. Same as ever, roots athirst, The trees will rest in breezeless dawn, Blind and uncaring, The trees that I knew, That I tended.”

“Now listen carefully: Marriage, to me, is not a chain but an association. I must be free, entirely unfettered, in all my actions--my coming and my going; I can tolerate neither control, jealousy, nor criticism as to my conduct. I pledge my word, however, never to compromise the name of the man I marry, nor to render him ridiculous in the eyes of the world. But that man must promise to look upon me as an equal, an ally, and not as an inferior, or as an obedient, submissive wife. My ideas, I know, are not like those of other people, but I shall never change them.”
