This month, I have collected some quotes from Toni Morrison to inspire us. Some of them come from a 1993 interview in The Paris Review. If you have time, the entire interview is well-worth reading!

Hi Alice!
I’ve tried leaving two comments, but they’re not showing up. Are your comment settings open?
Thank you Stacey. They are open, I got both comments. It’s the moderation. I guess the setting isn’t sending commenters that message. Thanks for letting me know.
Such a beautiful description 😊
