Crystal Evans
“I don't keep women friends for too long largely because i do not trust them and i hate gossip. A lot of times i am on the inside looking out and people say if women are avoiding me then it means something is wrong with me and not with them. I look at these female cliques and the lies, pretense and backbiting that keeps them glued together and decide that i want no part of that.”
Crystal Evans, Jamaican Acute Ghetto Itis

Janet Autherine
“I get excited about stringing old words together in new ways.”
Janet Autherine
