More From Alanis Morissette

He should have known better because, early in his learnings under his brother mahmoud, he had discovered that long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings, but short words were slippery, unpredictable changing their meanings without any pattern. or so he seemed to grok. short human words were never like a short martian word - such as grok which forever meant exactly the same thing. short human words were like trying to lift water with a knife. and this had been a very short word.

It's always intrigued me that amidst the group called slaves there were individuals who were extremely able, who were extremely colorful, who were powerful personalities, who by no means fit the usual images of slaves. they were people who, through their personalities and abilities, were very respected in the community where they lived by both black and white.
