At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint, or even remember it. It is enough.
- Toni Morrison
Anger ... it's a paralyzing emotion ... you can't get anything done. People sort of think it's an interesting, passionate, and igniting feeling — I don't think it's any of that — it's helpless ... it's absence of control — and I need all of my skills, all of the control, all of my powers ... and anger doesn't provide any of that — I have no use for it whatsoever.
- Toni Morrison, interview with CBS radio host Don Swaim, September 15, 1987
If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.
- Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon
You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.
