Mexican Hooker #1: And My Other Roles Since the Revolution QUOTES

1 " Both [parents] knew how to fight for humanity's basic human rights: food, water, shelter, medical care. Figuring out how to provide emotional support for their raped daughter did not propel them into action the way the revolution did. On the contrary, it immobilized them, silenced them, left their lungs devoid of breath. 'Don't move, don't speak, don't breathe' had not only been my survival psalm during the rape itself, it became theirs in the aftermath. "

― Carmen Aguirre , Mexican Hooker #1: And My Other Roles Since the Revolution
