"I dream a dream that dreams back at me"

--

Toni Morrison

“Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast.”
“May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month. The days are long and humid. The river shrinks and black crows gorge on bright mangoes in still, dustgreen trees. Red bananas ripen. Jackfruits burst. Dissolute bluebottles hum vacuously in the fruity air. Then they stun themselves against clear windowpanes and die, fatly baffled in the sun.”
“A compilation of what outstanding people said or wrote at the age of 20 would make a collection of asinine pronouncements.”
“All men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.”
“The key relationships in the future will not be between people, but between machines and people.”
“How could I have been anyone other than me?”
“I have to keep working, not to arrive at finish, which arouses the admiration of fools... I must seek completion only for the pleasure of being truer and more knowing.”
“I don't think investment is that hard. It's doing the simple things on a regular basis.”
