 Edwidge Danticat
 

Important Quotations Explained

 
1. I also know there are timeless waters, endless seas, and lots of people in this world whose names don't matter to anyone but themselves.
 
 
2. [P]eople are just too hopeful, and sometimes hope is the biggest weapon of all to use against us. [P]eople will believe anything.
 
 
3. It's so easy to love somebody, I tell you, when there's nothing else around.
 
 
4. These were our bedtime stories. Tales that haunted our parents and made them laugh at the same time. We never understood them until we were fully grown and they became our sole inheritance.
 
 
5. The women in your family have never lost touch with one another. Death is a path we take to meet on the other side.
