“ബീജം ഏറ്റുവാങ്ങുന്ന ഗര്‍ഭപാത്രങ്ങള്‍, വിത്തുവിതയ്ക്കാന്‍ മാത്രമായ വയലുകള്‍, പിന്നെ എന്തെല്ലാം! നിങ്ങള്‍ ഈ സ്ത്രീയെ കണ്ടില്ല.എന്‍റെ അമ്മയെ!”

“Evil is like a shadow. It follows you.”
― Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

“What I know now, my son: Evil begets evil. It grows. It transmutes, so that sometimes you cannot see that the evil in the world began as the evil in your own home. I'm sorry you have suffered. I'm sorry for the way your suffering casts a shadow over your life, over the woman you have yet to marry, the children you have yet to have.”
― Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

“When someone does wrong, whether it is you or me, whether it is mother or father, whether it is the Gold Coast man or the white man, it is like a fisherman casting a net into the water. He keeps only the one or two fish that he needs to feed himself and puts the rest back in the water, thinking that their lives will go back to normal. No one forgets that they were once captive, even if they are now free. But still, Yaw, you have to let yourself be free.”
