“...Sula was wrong. Hell ain't things lasting forever. Hell is change." Not only did men leave and children grow up and die, but even the misery didn't last. One day she wouldn't even have that.

Why, even in hate here I am thinking of what Sula said.”
― Toni Morrison, Sula

“Lonely, ain't it?

― Toni Morrison, Sula

“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”
