Nancy Rommelmann
“. While we might believe that pretty is as pretty does, on some level we want to see youth and beauty as signs of goodness, of innocence. The attractive woman is given a pass. The ugly one gets the chair.”
Nancy Rommelmann, To the Bridge

Teju Cole
“There are almost no Native Americans in New York City, and very few in all of the Northeast. It isn’t right that people are not terrified by this because this is a terrifying thing that happened to a vast population.”
Teju Cole, Open City

“that every bodily pain has its source in the soul, every pain is an expression of distress.”
Anat Talshir, About the Night

Tommy Orange
“There was an Indian head, the head of an Indian, the drawing of the head of a headdressed, long-haired Indian depicted, drawn by an unknown artist in 1939, broadcast until the late 1970s to American TVs everywhere after all the shows ran out. It’s called the Indian Head test pattern. If you left the TV on, you’d hear a tone at 440 hertz—the tone used to tune instruments—and you’d see that Indian, surrounded by circles that looked like sights through riflescopes. There was what looked like a bull’s-eye in the middle of the screen, with numbers like coordinates. The Indian’s head was just above the bull’s-eye, like all you’d need to do was nod up in agreement to set the sights on the target. This was just a test.”
Tommy Orange, There There

“Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is less violent than war?”
Ray Gwyn Smith, Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza
