There is an incredible amount of magic and feistiness in black men that nobody has been able to wipe out. But everybody has tried.

Sunk in the grass of an empty lot on a spring Saturday, I split the stems of milkweed and thought about ants and peach pits and death and where the world went when I closed my eyes.

How come it can't fly no better than a chicken?' Milkman asked. Too much tail. All that jewelry weighs it down. Like vanity. Can't nobody fly with all that [stuff]. Wanna fly, you got to give up the [stuff] that weighs you down.' The peacock jumped onto the hood of the Buick and once more spread its tail, sending the flashy Buick into oblivion.

To get to a place where you could love anything you chose--not to need permission for desire--well now _that_ was freedom.

Toni Morrison 445 quotes

You are your own stories and t...

You are your own stories and therefore free to imagine and experience what it means to be human.... And although you don't have complete control over the narrative (no author does, I can tell you), you could nevertheless create it.

Deep, deep trouble. Can't rival the dead for love. Lose every time.

Toni Morrison 445 quotes

Most of our lives are spent in little towns, little towns all throughout the country. That's where we live. And that's where the juices come from and that's where we made it, not made it in terms of success but made who we are.
