  1. "I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." - This quote highlights the dismissal and devaluation of the experiences of black people.

  2. "I'm poor, I'm black, I may be ugly and can't cook, a cap of hair never even pop to say, “Thank you”. It hardly ever does. What it do is pretend it don't never see me." - This quote underscores the intersection of race, poverty, and beauty standards in the protagonist's life.

  3. "Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to get attention we do, except walk?" - This quote reflects the theme of black people having to perform and conform to societal expectations to be accepted.
