Rufi Thorpe
“What else were you supposed to do with pain but polish it until it became something pointy and pretty?”
Rufi Thorpe, The Knockout Queen

Mary Ann Shaffer
“Perhaps there is some secret sort of homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers. How delightful if that were true.”
Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Toni Morrison
“I never asked Tolstoy to write for me, a little colored girl in Lorain, Ohio. I never asked [James] Joyce not to mention Catholicism or the world of Dublin. Never. And I don't know why I should be asked to explain your life to you. We have splendid writers to do that, but I am not one of them. It is that business of being universal, a word hopelessly stripped of meaning for me. Faulkner wrote what I suppose could be called regional literature and had it published all over the world. That's what I wish to do. If I tried to write a universal novel, it would be water. Behind this question is the suggestion that to write for black people is somehow to diminish the writing. From my perspective there are only black people. When I say 'people,' that's what I mean.”
Toni Morrison

Meg Grehan
“With Chloe
You can go anywhere
Or be anything
In an instant
Without even leaving your favorite bench
Chloe has a whole world in her
And she's so good at sharing it”
Meg Grehan

“The way I see it, love is just like your period. One day you're bleeding out of nowhere and it hurts, and that mess goes on for mostly the rest of your life.”
NoNieqa Ramos, The Truth Is
