“How does it feel being a woman's weakness? I mean a real woman. I mean a real weakness.”

“But if the strength ain't real, I recall thinking the very last thing that day, before I finally passed out, then the weakness sure enough is. Weakness is true and real. I used to accuse the kid of faking his weakness. But faking proves the weakness is real. Or you wouldn't be so weak as to fake it. No, you can't ever fake being weak. You can only fake being strong. . .”

“A man's weakness is a woman's beauty...a woman's weakness is falling in love.”

“I do not feel inhibited or bound by what I am. That does not mean that I have never had bad scenes relating to being Black and/or a woman, it means that other people’s craziness has not managed to make me crazy.”

“Ah, if I could only feel assured that it was right and not a blind impulse of a weak woman's heart!'" ~Rosamond”

“To be a woman is not a weakness.”
