More from Toni Morrison
"I don't think there's any such thing as a female writer. I think there are writers."
"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."
"My work is to make sure that the people I'm writing about are human, and that they are complex, and that they are not stereotypes."
"I want to feel what I feel. Even if it's not happiness."
"It is not the job of the artist to provide answers, but to ask questions."
