Additional quotes by Joy Harjo

True power does not amass through the pain and suffering of others.

I've learned there are many genealogies. Within our family is a genealogy of rage. There is also a genealogy of justice. I would show you a map, but I am still searching the roadway for casualties.

Bless the poets, the workers for justice,
the dancers of ceremony, the singers of heartache,
the visionaries, all makers and carriers of fresh
meaning — We will all make it through,
despite politics and wars, despite failures
and misunderstandings. There is only love.
