For my future self as a reminder of how much I’m fangirling right now-

I’m already fascinated by Toni Morrison because she just gave a one page explanation of the meticulous care she put into just the FIRST sentence of the novel

Yall don’t understand what this book means to me- “Daedalus did not long outlive his son. His limbs turned gray and nerveless, and all his strength transmitted into smoke. I had no right to claim him, I knew it. But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me” (152).

Like you’re joking

“Whatever our souls are made of his and mine are the same… I am Heathcliff.”

I’m scaredddd

Cathy gives iPad kid

p. 71: “‘But, Nelly, if I knocked him down twenty times, that wouldn’t make him less handsome or me more so. I wish I had LIGHT HAIR and a FAIR SKIN, and was dressed, and behaved as well, and had a CHANCE of being as RICH AS HE WILL BE!’”

Everyone’s moody but it makes sense with where they live lol

Was about to shed a tear for Lee but he’s back baby

“He would rather the man thought himself a great architect or a great poet and then forgot about it, than that he should spend much time and pains trying to think himself a bad one” (72).

Degrading yourself is degrading the creation, the person, He has made in you!!! We have no right to judge others, even ourselves; we are fallen creatures who see through skewed eyes.

Generational trauma and personalities being passed down like this is scaryyy
