Quotes From Beloved Toni Morrison Novels & Stories

'Remember it all, every insult, every tear. Tattoo it on the inside of your mind. In life, knowledge of poisons is essential. I've told you, nobody becomes an artist unless they have to.

Because every person can't go on living alone.' ❤❤❤❤ LUCIFER AND TALOC ❤❤❤❤

I raised my glass to offer a toast. “I’m not good with words. And Goddess knows I don’t deserve a mate as beautiful and wonderful as you. But you make me want to be better, to do better.

We nodded, grins tugging at our weary faces. “And from now on,” she added with a laugh, “when someone tells you it cannot be done, you tell them this: you’ll never do it.” Her words had hung in the air, daring us to believe.

He caressed her face, and mumbled, "You might have chosen something that wasn't right but still I would forever be debtful to you for at least giving my daughter the feel of a mother. At least she knows, what a mothers warmth means." He stared heavenwards, and with a smile, whispered, "I still love you, My Mafia Girl." “And I’ll always love you, My stylish Mafia Girl.” Simone's eyes watered; her lips quivered, and the words were out before she could stop them. "I love you, My handsome Muse. I'd forever be debtful to you for shadowing my darkness with your purity, and for making me walk on this tough path of redemption.

It only worsened because now I don’t feel the heavy ring around my finger, a mark ending everything between Calvin and me.
