Octavia E. Butler Quotes

He'll Mind. I Can See That He's Very Possessive Of You
and Very Protective." He Paused, Then Said, "Let Him Mind, Shori. Talk To Him. Help Him. Reassure Him. Stop Violence. But Let Him Feel What He Feels And Settle His Feelings His Own Way."

" ... Let Them See That You Trust Them And Let Them Solve Their Own Problems, Make Their Own Decisions. Do That And They Will Willingly Commit Their Lives To You. Bully Them, Control Them Out Of Fear Or Malice Or Just For Your Own Convenience, And After A While, You'll Have To Spend All Your Time Thinking For Them, Controlling Them, And Stifling Their Resentment.
