Quote by Alice Walker, In Search of Our M

And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see: or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.

And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than no

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that the mothers and grandmothers of past generations have passed down their creative abilities and talents to future generations, often without receiving recognition for it. They have nurtured and planted a figurative seed of creativity within their descendants, even without personally witnessing the blossoming of that creative potential. Like a sealed letter whose content remains unknown, they have selflessly passed on a legacy of creativity for others to discover and fulfill.
