"How to Tame a Wild Tongue" Quotes
"Attacks on one's form of expression with the intent to censor are a violation of the first amendment. Wild tongues can't be tamed, they can only be cut out."
"And because we internalize how our language has been used against us by the dominant culture, we use our language differences against each other."
"Until I am free to write bilingually and to switch codes without having always to translate, while I still have to speak English or Spanish where I would rather speak Spanglish, and as long as I have to accommodate the English speakers rather than having them accommodate me, my tongue will be illegitimate."
