Quotes

La couleur pourpre

Celie: I may be black. I may be poor. I may even be ugly. But I'm here!

Ol' Mister: The women at this table have lost their minds!
Shug Avery: Shut up, you old toothless goat!

Sofia: So when a man raises his hand. Hell no!

Celie: I'm not ready for you to leave. Mister don't beat me as much.
Shug Avery: Beat you? Why he do that?
Celie: Cause I ain't you, I guess.

Squeak: Don't touch me, you snaggle-toothed heifer!
