Michael Dorris _ Morning Girl
Names are strange and special gifts. There are names you give to yourself and names you show to the world, names that stay for a short while and names that remain with you forever, names that come from things you do and names that you receive as presents from other people.

Michael Dorris _ Rooms in the House of Stone:
The World Bank, anxious that the last vestiges of Zimbabwe's former inclination toward socialism be abandoned, successfully urged the imposition of a token tuition charge for all grade levels.

Too many of the girls . . . have resorted to prostitution in order to eat.
