Quotes

Shug: I think it pisses God off when you walk by the color purple in a field and don't notice it. Old Mr.: She black as tar, nappy-headed, got legs like baseball bats, and I hear she got that nasty women's disease. Celie: [to Shug] He (Albert) beat me when you ain't here. He beat me for not being you.
