"My mother's anger humiliates me; her words chafe my cheeks, and I am crying. I do not know that she is not angry at me, but at my sickness. I believe she despises my weakness for letting the sickness "take holt."          -Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

"Blessed be the children// Each and every one come to know their god through some senseless act of violence."          -Ethel Cain,, Ptolemaea
