My Fave Quotes

 

"Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is less violent than war?"

 

 

" A language which they can connect their identity to, one capable of communicating the realities and values true to themselves- a language with terms that are neither espanol ni ingles, but both."

 

 

"So, if you want to really hurt me, talk badly about my language. Ethnic  identity is twin to linguistic identity- I am my language. Until I can take pride in my language, I cannot take pride in myself."
