On personal power: A grown woman did not need safety or its dreams. She was the safety she longed for.
On love: Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all.
On mothering: Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What's that supposed to mean? In my heart it don't mean a thing.
On mothering: A daughter is a woman that cares about where she came from and takes care of them that took care of her.
On truth: Not knowing was hard; knowing was harder.
