We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language.... - Toni Morrison

"Birth, life, and death― each took place on the hidden side of a leaf."

"She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind."

"All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was."

"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."

"There is really nothing more to say-except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how."
