Citações

    “No!” She jerked her head from side to side. Her voice fizzled into a whisper. “You couldn’t have been raped. No daughter of mine could have been raped. That is not the way I brought you up.”
  • The Ene.fez uma citaçãohá 6 anos
    When she spoke of my father, a small Adam’s apple bounced around her neck like an erect nipple under a loose blouse. “Men are nothing. They are fools. The penis between their legs is all they are useful for. And even then, if not that women needed their seed for children, it would be better to sit on a finger of green plantain. Listen to my words. Only a foolish woman leans heavily on a man’s promises.”
