Beloved's Narrative: Writing Mother's Milk

... a woman is never far from (I mean outside her role functions: the as nonname and as source of goods). There is always within her at least a little of that good mother's milk. She writes in white ink. ... In women there is always more or less of the mother who makes everything all right, who nourishes, and who stands up against separation; a force that will not be cut off but will knock the wind out of the codes my emphases. (Helene Cixous)
