My tribute to Toni Morrison
(and her most memorable quotes)
... There is really nothing more to say-except 'why'. But since why
is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in 'how'.
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...
"And I am
all the things I have ever loved: scuppernong wine, cool baptisms in silent water, dream books
and number playing"...
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 –
I
have no use for it whatsoever.
"He looked at her face in the mirror and
was reminded of days at sea when water
looked like sky".

R.I.P. (gentle poet)
"She
is imperturbable, articulate, magisterial, satiny, wise. She makes no apologies
for her work, her honors, her offerings..."
