Toni Morrison Quotes

Outdoors, We Knew, Was The Real Terror Of Life. The Threat Of Being Outdoors Surfaced Frequently In Those Days. Every Possibility Of Excess Was Curtailed With It. If Somebody Ate Too Much, He Could End Up Outdoors. If Somebody Used Too Much Coal, He Could End Up Outdoors. People Could Gamble Themselves Outdoors, Drink Themselves Outdoors. Sometimes Mothers Put Their Sons Outdoors, And When That Happened, Regardless Of What The Son Had Done, All Sympathy Was With Him. He Was Outdoors, And His Own Flesh Had Done It. To Be Put Outdoors By A Landlord Was One Thing - Unfortunate, But An Aspect Of Life Over Which You Had No Control, Since You Could Not Control Your Income. But To Be Slack Enough To Put Oneself Outdoors, Or Heartless Enough To Put One's Own Kin Outdoors - That Was Criminal.
