“I don't want to survive. I want to live.”

[mamachonnes]

“One of the things that the book says is that Patsey ‘had an air of loftiness that neither labor nor lash could rid her of,’ and that is woman of extraordinary ability, you know? Then the script said that she was effortlessly sensual, and I was thinking that for some time and I found this quote from James Baldwin’s ‘The Fire Next Time’ where he says, “to be sensual, I think, is to rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in everything that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread,” and that was Patsey. She was present, and she was present because she was the slave of a volatile master and so she had to be ready for anything at anytime, and so that was like to juice right there, in the script.” -Lupita Nyong'o

His piercing stare

His mouth agape

He's spreading sorrow with no escape.

So full of pain

so very weak

It's only solace that he seeks.

His whip is fire

His touches burn

Why is it always my turn?
