Quote by Lorelei James

“This is exactly what I meant by unfair, Abe. If I woulda brought a guy home and announced, ‘He’s staying with me in my room,’ both you and Hank would’ve trussed him up and dragged him off Lawson land.” “Not the same thing, Celia.” Her gray eyes narrowed. “Why? Because you both have dicks? Or because you both are dicks?”

Men prefer to watch actual porn.”

“There were honeys from across the city - Westport, Hollander Ridge, Gwynn Oak, Northwood. They were everything from redbone to yo-yo darkskin.

I saw we were outnumbered, as brothers who try the civilized way always are.”

“عند الأماركة ـ تتكوّن هوية الأمريكي الحقيقي من ذاته، وليس بالاندماج مع الآخرين، تماماً مثل قطرة الماء، هويتها أن تسمى وتبقى قطرة ماء فقط، أما حين تندمج في المحيط فقد فقدت كل هويتها وكل استقلالها.”

“Right!” Kala sighed. “I don’t know, maybe it would have been nice to have had a choice, rather than it being an expectation. It's as if we're all cattle, following the herd. Go to school, go to college, find a mate, start a career, get married, have children, and you're done. We were like brainwashed zombies in the nineties. I’m glad the younger generations are rebelling and changing the status quo, and not having kids, and demanding better working conditions.”
