Additional quotes by Toni Morrison

I know what every colored woman in this country is doing. . . . Dying. Just like me. But the difference is they dying like a stump. Me, I'm going down like one of those redwoods. I sure did live in this world.

To be given dominion over another is a hard thing; to wrest dominion over another is a wrong thing; to give dominion of yourself to another is a wicked thing.

A dream is just a nightmare with lipstick.

So when I think of autumn, I think of somebody with hands who does not want me to die. - Toni Morrison
