More from Toni Morrison
"I can't say 'I'm writing a book' unless I have a topic, a subject, a theme, and characters who are struggling with that theme."
"I think of myself as an archaeologist, digging through the past to find the truth."
"Certain things are not to be looked at."
"Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; does more than represent the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge."
"I'm writing for black people, in the same way that Tolstoy was writing for Russians, not for a little white island in the Caribbean."
