RIP Toni Morrison

I did not think much of Beloved, but I liked The Bluest Eye and I loved Song of Solomon, which is one of my favorite American novels.

A few notable lines:

You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.

Love is never any better than the lover.

What difference do it make if the thing you scared of is real or not?

And one I have taken as a spur:

If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
