More quotes by Bessie Head
Before the white man became universally disliked for his mental outlook it was there.
But witch doctors were human, and nothing, however odd and perverse, need be feared if it was human.
I have always been just me, with no frame of reference to anything beyond myself."

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
