More quotes by Mildred D. Taylor
There were too many ears that listened for others besides themselves, and too many tongues that wagged to those they shouldn't.
Mildred D. Taylor
Although there are those who wish to ban my books because I have used language that is painful, I have chosen to use the language that was spoken during the period, for I refuse to whitewash history. The language was painful and life was painful for many African Americans, including my family. I remember the pain.
Mildred D. Taylor

Mildred D. Taylor
Baby, we have no choice of what color we're born or who our parents are or whether we're rich or poor. What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once we're here.
Mildred D. Taylor
I do not know how old I was when the daydreams became more than that, and I decided to write them down, but by the time I entered high school, I was confident that I would one day be a writer.
Mildred D. Taylor
These are things they need to hear, baby. It's their history.
Mildred D. Taylor
No day in all my life had ever been as cruel as this one.
Mildred D. Taylor
I'm a Southerner, born and bred, but that doesn't mean I approve of all that goes on here, and there are a lot of other white people who feel the same.
