"Chicanas who grew up speaking Chicano Spanish have internalized the belief that we speak poor Spanish."

"To be close to another Chicana is like looking into the mirror."

"Until I am free to write bilingually and to switch codes without having always to translate, while I still have to speak English or Spanish when I would rather speak Spanglish, and as I have to accommodate the English speakers rather than having them accommodate me, my tongue will be illegitimate."
