All your shrines drenched in the blood Of your worshippers/All your sacred symbols wiped out by fire! - Femi Osofisan

Happiness is a fake. The gods employ it as a mask to trick us each time they are about to plunge us into grief.

The gods! Which gods! Do you still trust any of them after this? Or have you quickly forgotten what they told us about Anlugbua just now? No, women, there is no shelter anywhere but in ourselves! Each of us has become our own god.

Let no one count herself lucky till she finds herself on her death bed.
