Geographies of Light Quotes

“If they say you're not American,
don't pull out your personal,
wallet-sized flag. Instead, recall

the Bill of Rights. Mention the Constitution.
Wear democracy like a favorite garment:
comfortable, intimate.”
― Lisa Suhair Majaj, Geographies of Light

“I would be a pillow at the small of her back,
a glass of cold water on a tray,
a cloth shielding her from the sun.
I would be a dictionary
holding all the languages known and unknown.
I would save everything.”
― Lisa Suhair Majaj, Geographies of Light
