"The mother is the child's first relationship, his whole world, his existence. If there is love in the relationship between the child and the mother, the child learns to trust himself, to trust others and to trust life. If there is no love in the relationship between the mother and the child, the child learns to distrust himself, to distrust others and to distrust life."

"What a mother wants is to hold her babies when they're small and to be held by them once they've grown tall. It's empty arms a mother dreads."

"I have a sister, so I know-that relationship, it's all about fairness: you want your sibling to have exactly what you have-the same amount of toys, the same number of meatballs on your spaghetti, the same share of love. But being a mother is completely different. You want your child to have more than you ever did. You want to build a fire underneath her and watch her soar. It's bigger than words."

"Not setting the 'proper and accepted' religious example for them conjured up images of the bad mother, the worst mother. Yet wouldn't the example of a mother being true to her journey, taking a stand against patriarchy, and questing for spiritual meaning and wholeness, even when it meant exiting circles of orthodoxy, be a worthwhile example?"

Nothing

Life

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates

Self

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"I'm sure all that you've heard is just the usual gossip, invented to injure feelings rather than illuminate truth."

Society

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are."

Change

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"The challenge is to resist circumstances. Any idiot can be happy in a happy place, but moral courage is required to be happy in a hellhole."

Motivation

Joyce Carol Oates
"And I like your laugh, Sabbath; it's inaudible."

Humor

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"A broken heart is something even I can't protect you from. I've been alone for so long, and believe me, all that does is provide a false sense of security. Being alone doesn't erase the deep yearning that exists in all of us. We are not solitary creatures. You have to love and open your heart. If not, what is it we are trying to save? When it swallows you whole, remember it means you've lived."

Emotion

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Primarily, 'Black Girl/White Girl' is the story of two very different, yet somehow 'fated' girls; for Genna, her 'friendship' with Minette is the most haunting of her life, though it is one-sided and ends in tragedy."

Friendship

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"For what are the words with which to summarize a lifetime, so much crowded confused happiness terminated by such stark slow-motion pain?"
