“There is a loneliness that can be rocked. Arms crossed, knees drawn up, holding, holding on, this motion, unlike a ship’s, smooths and contains the rocker. It’s an inside kind–wrapped tight like skin.”
“Love is divine only and difficult always. If you think it is easy you are a fool. If you think it is natural you are blind.”
“Make up a story … For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light.”
— Toni Morrison, RIP (1931 – 2019)
