Famous quotes containing the words morrison and/or told:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“Say, I wish you fellas coulda seen her face, though, when I walked in and told her, in the strictest confidence, of course, “Honey, I’m goin’ to the moon.”... Well, she looked at me for a second and then said, “What for? They ain’t got nothin’ there that we don’t have more of right here in Texas.””
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
