Toni Morrison Quotes

This Notion Of Rest, It's Attractive To Her, But I Don't Think She Would Like It. They Are All Like That, These Women. Waiting For The Ease, The Space That Need Not Be Filled With Anything Other Than The Drift Of Their Own Thoughts. But They Wouldn't Like It. They Are Busy And Thinking Of Ways To Be Busier Because Such A Space Of Nothing Pressing To Do Would Knock Them Down. No Fields Of Cowslips Will Rush Into That Opening, Nor Mornings Free Of Flies And Heat When The Light Is Shy. No. Not At All. They Fill Their Mind And Hands With Soap And Repair And Dicey Confrontations Because What Is Waiting For Them, In A Suddenly Idle Moment, Is The Seep Of Rage. Molten. Thick And Slow-moving. Mindful And Particular About What In Its Path It Chooses To Bury. Or Else, Into A Beat Of Time, And Sideways Under Their Breasts, Slips A Sorrow They Don't Know Where From.
