Key quotes in Jubilee?

There are many key quotes in the novel Jubilee by Margaret
Walker. Perhaps the most moving quotes are made regarding hatred and
love.


1. "Keeping hatred inside makes you git mean and evil
inside."


2. "We supposen to love everybody like God loves
us."


3. "Folks with a loving heart don't never need no
doctor."


Given that the text speaks to issues such as
family, deliverance, duty, and religion the quotes above show the importance of love and
the letting go of hate. In the end, letting go of hate insures one can forgo the
physical stress hate places on the heart, "shrinks you up inside...and squeezes your
heart tight", and allows one to "don't never need no doctor."
