"i was just like a pathological liar when i was a kid. i think i just wanted to one-up somebody. somebody would be like, 'oh, god, my legs hurt.' i'd be like, 'your legs hurt? i'm getting mine amputated next week.' and that's actually how my mother found out. she came to school and somebody was like, 'god, that's such a shame about jennifer's legs.' she made me purge. i had to spill out all of my lies. i was like, 'i said that dad drove a barge, and we were millionaires, and you were pregnant, i had to get my legs amputated, and i spayed cats and dogs on the weekends.' now i can't lie.

My mother got sick when i was rich. and my mother, you know … i don’t really want to get into it, but my mother was sicker than my father. and my mother’s alive. my mother’s fine, ok? i remember going to the hospital to see my mother and wondering, ‘was i in the right place?’ like, this was a hotel. like it had a concierge, man. if the average person really knew the discrepancy in the health care system, there’d be riots in the streets, ok? they would burn this m-therf—ker down!

India was the motherland of our race, and sanskrit the mother of europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the buddha, of the ideals embodied in christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. mother india is in many ways the mother of us all.

For many of us the march from selma to montgomery was about protest and prayer. legs are not lips and walking is not kneeling. and yet our legs uttered songs. even without words, our march was worship. i felt my legs were praying.
Song Prayer Legs
We got off at the next exit, quietly, and, switching drivers, we walked in front of the car. we met and i held him, my hands balled into tight fists around his shoulders, and he wrapped his short arms around me and squeezed tight, so that i felt the heaves of his chest as we realized over and over again that we were still alive. i realized it in waves and we held on to each other crying and i thought, 'god we must look so lame,' but it doesn't matter when you have just now realized, all the time later, that you are still alive.

Real Hatred Problem
Liberty may be an uncomfortable blessing unless you know what to do with it. that is why so many freed slaves returned to their masters, why so many emancipated women are only too glad to give up the racket and settle down. for between announcing that you will live your own life, and the living of it lie the real difficulties of any awakening.
