“Who has more power than a child? She can be as cruel as she wants to be. He can't.”

“Anyone who looked more white folkish than herself was better than she was in her criteria, therefore it was right that they should be cruel to her at times, just as she was cruel to those more negroid than herself in direct ratio to their negroness.”

“It means she's amazing - and terrifying. Annwyl kills without question, rules with an iron fist, and has little patience for anyone. She can be cruel , she can be loving, she can be heartless, and she can care too much... I can't explain Annwyl”

“She can't just be a face, a body; there has to be more than that, some kind of connection. And I can't connect, don't want to connect, with anyone.”

“She wanted nothing more than someone to miss, to touch, with whom to speak like a child, with whom to be a child.”

“For anyone who wants to write, and hopes some day to publish what he or she has written, it is far more important to write than it is to study about writing.”
