השבוע שחלף נטל מאתנו את אחד הקולות הצלולים של המצפון האנושי בכלל, והאפרו - אמריאי בפרט, מחנכת, סופרת זוכת פרס נובל ואישה מופלאה בחוכמתה, השבוע ניפרד מטוני מוריסון

 

You are your best thing

Toni Morrison

 

You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down

Toni Morrison

 

If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it

Toni Morrison

 

From my point of view, which is that of a storyteller, I see your life as already artful, waiting, just waiting and ready for you to make it art

Toni Morrison

 

Freeing yourself was one thing. Claiming ownership of that freed self was anotherTo get to a place where you could love anything you chose – not to need permission for desire – well now that was freedom

Toni Morrison

 

The function of freedom is to free someone else

Toni Morrison

 

There is a loneliness that can be rocked. Arms crossed, knees drawn up, holding, holding on, this motion, unlike a ship’s, smooths and contains the rocker. It’s an inside kind–wrapped tight like skin

Toni Morrison

 

You’re turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can’t value you more than you value yourself

Toni Morrison

 

I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge – even wisdom. Like art.

Toni Morrison

 

What’s the world for you if you can’t make it up the way you want it?

Toni Morrison
