Indian Chief Quotes

• The major adventure is to claim your authentic, true being, which is not culturally given to you. The culture will not explain to you how to be a real human being. It will tell you how to be banker, politician, Indian chief, masseuses, actress, whatever, but it will not give you true being.

• Siempre quise un padre. De cualquier tipo. Uno estricto, uno divertido, uno que me comprara vestidos rosas, uno que deseara que yo fuera un niño. Uno que viajara, uno que nunca se levantara de su silla Morris. Doctor, abogado, jefe indio. Quería espuma de afeitar en el fregadero y silbidos en las escaleras. Quería pantalones colgados por los puños de un cajón de la cómoda. Quería cambio tintineando en un bolsillo y el sonido del hielo rompiéndose en una copa de cóctel a las cinco y media. Quería oír reír a mi madre detrás de una puerta cerrada.

• Feminism … I think the simplest explanation, and one that captures the idea, is a song that Marlo Thomas sang, 'Free to be You and Me.' Free to be, if you were a girl—doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. Anything you want to be. And if you’re a boy, and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, that’s OK too. That notion that we should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriers—manmade barriers, certainly not heaven sent.

• Tengo una bisabuela. Su nombre es Pearl, y ella estuvo casada con un jefe indio, quien, en un maravilloso cruce de culturas, integró algo de él, y algo de ella, y um,
  era una combinación de peyote y conservas, y era esta mermelada alucinógena.
