Quotes From "How to Tame a Wild Tongue"

"Wild tongues can't be tamed, they can only be cut out."

"But for a language to remain alive it must be used." 

"I wil no longer be made to  feel ashamed of existing, I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, white. I will have my serpent's tongue- my woman's voice, my sexual voice, my poet's voice. I will overcome the tradition of silence."
