“She was a victim of her own brain chemistry, and as her daughter my role was to accept and love her for who she was, not who I wanted her to to be.”

“Our mother was different, but that’s what we liked about her. While other children had strict routines and consequences, we had freedom and frivolity— and we didn’t want the party to end.”
― Things Nobody Knows But Me
― Things Nobody Knows But Me
“While I’d had many upheavals during my young life, the one constant and been my mother. Now that she was in another country and completely lost to me, I realised how much she was a part of me. Missing her was like a physical ache that I could not assuage.”

“God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.”
― The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother
― The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother
“I asked her if I was black or white. She replied "You are a human being. Educate yourself or you'll be a nobody!”

“It was always so hot, and everyone was so polite, and everything was all surface but underneath it was like a bomb waiting to go off. I always felt that way about the South, that beneath the smiles and southern hospitality and politeness were a lot of guns and liquor and secrets.”
― The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother

“Ages fourteen to eighteen, a girl needs something to kill all that time, that endless itchy waiting, every hour, every day for something — anything — to begin.”
