Toni Morrison:
(Lorain (Ohio)18 February 1931 – New York, 5 August 2019).
American writer.
In 1993, she received the Nobel Prize in Literature for her oeuvre. In 2012, she received America’s highest civilian award: the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Several of her books are considered classics of American literature, including The Bluest Eye, Beloved (for which she won a Pulitzer Prize), and Song of Solomon. Her style is unusual for its themes of epic proportions, vivid dialogues and African-American characters fleshed out in detail.
Make a difference about something other than yourselves.
We mistook violence for passion, indolence for leisure, and though recklessness was freedom.
The function of freedom is to free someone else.
