Quote by Toni Cade Bambara

"The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you know the stuff you're dealing with, the forces that make you move. Then the facts make sense."

"If you write what you know, you're always going to be upstaged by life itself."

"Stories are important. They keep us alive."

"We have to talk to each other so we can say or do what's supposed to be said or done."

"Strength comes from within."

"A woman should be proud of who she is."

"A strong woman can overcome anything."

"The only thing I'm good at is killing."
