Toni Morrison

Beauty was not simply something to behold; it was something one could do.

Some things you forget. Other things you never do.

What you do to children matters. And they might never forget.

I don’t think many people appreciate silence or realize that it is as close to music as you can get.

Correct what you can; learn from what you can’t.

Let your face speak what’s in your heart.

I wish I’d a knowed more people. I would of loved ‘em all. If I’d a knowed more, I would a loved more

What’s the world for you if you can’t make it up the way you want it?

The function of freedom is to free someone else

“As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think.”
