Toni Morrison Quotes

Anger ... It's A Paralyzing Emotion ... You Can't Get Anything Done. People Sort Of Think It's An Interesting, Passionate, And Igniting Feeling - I Don't Think It's Any Of That - It's Helpless ... It's Absence Of Control - And I Need All Of My Skills, All Of The Control, All Of My Powers ... And Anger Doesn't Provide Any Of That - I Have No Use For It Whatsoever.
[Interview With CBS Radio Host Don Swaim, September 15, 1987.]
