Toni Morrison Quotes

... Sula was wrong. Hell ain't things lasting forever. Hell is change." Not only did men leave and children grow up and die, but even the misery didn't last. One day she wouldn't even have that. This very grief that had twisted her into a curve on the floor and flayed her would be gone. She would lose that too. Why, even in hate here I am thinking of what Sula said.

Toni Morrison

We can turn to the poem. We can open the book. Somebody has been there for us and deep-dived the words. Jeanette Winterson
