The only difference between them and my girls is that my girls gave a man his money's worth.”
“The Women Who Walk Us Home
The ones who arrive with a bag of clothes, four
tired lemons, half a story from her sister's trip to
Paraguay. The ones who keep our secrets and
whose secrets we keep in potted plants, in
every ocean we've ever known. The ones who
know our husbands, their little pleasures. Our
lovers and our scars. The ones who stay, hope
like a moth. Who stare into the gaping tomb
and are not afraid of its unveiling. The ones who
will be there, even then (even then), to walk us
home.”

The women work because for years now the white folks haven’t liked to give black men jobs that paid enough for them to support their families. And finally it gets to be too late for some of them. Even wars don’t change it. The men get out of the habit of working and the houses are old and gloomy and the walls press in. And the men go off, move on, slip away, find new women. Find younger women.”

I think the thing that's most compelling about other people is when you don't look like you're trying to dress like your friend, colleague, neighbor, or anything else. That's a very arresting and exciting and compelling quality to possess - not everybody has the courage to walk out the door feeling like themselves, but once they do, it's thrilling to witness.”
“The women's movement and gay and lesbian movements always come together, and our adversaries are always the same because the male supremacist, patriarchal, ultra-right-wing, religious fundamentalists, whatever you want to call it is devoted to saying that sex is only moral and okay when it is directed towards having children and occurs in patriarchal marriage, so the children are owned.”
