Tar Baby

By Toni Morrison QUOTATION: At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.

QUOTATION: An innocent man is a sin before God. Inhuman and therefore untrustworthy. No man should live without absorbing the sins of his kind, the foul air of his innocence, even if it did wilt rows of angel trumpets and cause them to fall from their vines.
