I will tell you about the true secret of the white man’s power: money. Money moves the world. Money is time. Money is beauty. Money is elegance. Money is power. Why, with money I can even buy the princess of England. The one who recently came here. Money is freedom. With money I can buy freedom for all our people. Instead of this suicidal talk of guns and pistols and oaths of black unity to drive out the white man, we should learn from him how to make money. With money we can bring light into darkness. With money we can get rid of our fears and our superstitions. <...> Give me money and I can buy holiness and kindness and charity, indeed buy my way to heaven, and the sacred gates will open at my approach. That is the power we want.

But boys were always more confident about the future than us girls. They seemed to know what they wanted to become later in life: whereas with us girls the future seemed vague... It was as if we knew that no matter what efforts we put into our studies, our road led to the kitchen and to the bedroom.

Ешьте, или вас съедят. Высосать все соки. Почему? Почему? Что-то протестовало внутри, он не мог смириться с безжалостной логикой ее действий, ее слов. Или — или, или — или. В мире хищников и жертв вы либо поедаете других, либо становитесь жертвой. Но ведь сколько тех, кто не может и не хочет отращивать клыки и когти. Есть ли альтернатива этой ее правде?
