Canadian Quotes: Tania De Rozario

 On July 11th, we celebrate Tania De Rozario! A friend once told me that anger and disappointment were two sides of the same coin—she said that anger was disappointment in disguise. Anger is bigger, louder, a force that pushes outward. Disappointment runs deeper, closer to collapse, to the parts of us that are soft, vulnerable. - from Dinner on Monster Island: Essays by Tania De Rozario  About this series Every day this July, the yak occidental is posting a quote from a book by a Canadian writer to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. Celebrating Canada is complex, and we must remember the  violent and genocidal history  our country is founded upon.
