“Risky, thought Paul D, very risky. For a used-to-be-slave woman to love anything that much was dangerous, especially if it was her children she had settled on to love.

― Toni Morrison, Beloved

“Youth fools us into thinking there are infinite paths to choose from in life; maturity tricks us into thinking there is only one.”

“Big don’t mean ugly, baby, and thin sho don’t mean pretty. If a person wanna be pretty, they gotta walk pretty and act pretty and talk pretty. Can’t nobody take pretty from you.”
