Toni Morrison Trying Quotations

How exquisitely human was the wish for permanent happiness, and how thin human imagination became trying to achieve it.

I'm just trying to look at something without blinking, to see what it is like, or it could have been like, and how that had something to do with the way we live now. Novels are always inquiries for me.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't try to write through it, to force it. Many do, but that won't work. Just wait, it will come.
