“His facial features were at odds with each other. The narrow nose said one thing, but his lush lips told a different version of the same story. That story was that this Indian was half Negro.”
Arlene L. Walker, Seeds of Deception

“If the world stops spinning, slowing to a crawl. I will continue to dream of you. Until, I no longer dream at all.”
