Today’s quotes are from Ntozake Shange

“Where there is a woman there is magic. If there is a moon falling from her mouth, she is a woman who knows her magic, who can share or not share her powers. A woman with a moon falling from her mouth, roses between her legs and tiaras of Spanish moss, this woman is a consort of the spirits.”
― Ntozake Shange

― Ntozake Shange, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf
