Natalie Diaz quotes

I had to be willing to risk myself for what I wanted. And I want desire; I want to be capable of it. I want to be deserving of it. (Natalie Diaz)
Maybe a wound is a way of seeing into someone. Or maybe it is an opening into the person who inflicted the wound. I don't need the wounds to disappear, but I want to give them the possibility to flower or tu'aachk, as we might say in Mojave. I can't deny my wounds, those I've gathered across my own body and mind, as well as those I have inflicted on others' bodies and minds. I can try to imagine a condition in which the wound will bloom, meaning a place beyond the wound... View quote
