The Hungry Woman Quotes

“This is how all nights begin and end.”
― Cherríe L. Moraga, The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea & Heart of the Earth: A Popul Vuh Story

“MAMA SAL: When you're a girl, hija, and a Mexican, you learn that you only got one shot at being a woman and that's being a mother.

LUNA: Tell Medea. She's the mother, not me.

MAMA SAL: You go from a daughter to a mother, and there's nothing in between. That's the law of our people written como los diez commandments on the metate stone from the beginning of all time.”
