A Wild Patience Has Taken Me This Far QUOTES

1 " What rivets me to history is seeing / acts of survival turned / to rituals of self-hatred. This / is colonization. Unborn sisters, / look back on us in mercy where we failed ourselves, / see us not one-dimensional but with / the past as your steadying and corrective lens. "

― Adrienne Rich , A Wild Patience Has Taken Me This Far

2 " Freedom. It isn’t once, to walk out
under the Milky Way, feeling the rivers
of light, the fields of dark—
freedom is daily, prose-bound, routine
remembering. Putting together, inch by inch
the starry worlds. From all the lost collections. "

― Adrienne Rich , A Wild Patience Has Taken Me This Far
