Sherman Alexie Quotes

Of Course, All During My Childhood, Would-be Saviors Tried To Rescue My Fellow Tribal Members. They Wanted To Rescue Me. But, Even Then, I Could Only Laugh At Their Platitudes. In Those Days, The Cultural Conservatives Thought That KISS And Black Sabbath Were Going To Impede My Moral Development. They Wanted To Protect Me From Sex When I Had Already Been Raped. They Wanted To Protect Me From Evil Though A Future Serial Killer Had Already Abused Me. They Wanted Me To Profess My Love For God Without Considering That I Was The Child And Grandchild Of Men And Women Who'd Been Sexually And Physically Abused By Generations Of Clergy.
