Quotes by Reni K. Amayo (?)

“You are hiding, all the time, reducing yourself and minimising your power. You have power, my dear; everyone, even the tiniest otomys, has power. The trouble is we are all too quick to give it away.’ The old woman leaned back with a smile. ‘The trick is incredibly simple. To know you have power is to have power.”
― Reni K. Amayo, Daughters of Nri

“accept life for what it was: a journey punctuated by pain, which could only be escaped by being lived through.”
― Reni K. Amayo, Daughters of Nri

“You cannot buy life, you cannot hide and wait to live it later, you must live, and you must live now, because you have no other choice.”
― Reni K. Amayo, Daughters of Nri
