More From Toni Morrison

Make up a story... for our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.
Believe Writing Dark
The mold in which a key is made would be a strange thing, if you had never seen a key: and the key itself a strange thing if you had never seen a lock. your soul has a curious shape because it is a hollow made to fit a particular swelling in the infinite contours of the divine substance, or a key to unlock one of the doors in the house with many mansions. your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it -- made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.
Keys Doors Hands
To every soul, god will look like its first love because he is its first love. your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it - made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.
Love You First Love Love Is
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. but it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is god, not through any belief; because your belief projects what you think god ought to be, what you think ought to be true. if you believe god is love, god is good, god is this or that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is god, what is true.
Powerful Believe Thinking
Even if it doesn't fit the woman, like, let's say a very short skirt, and the woman doesn't have the legs or the height to wear the skirt, but she has to wear it because it's fashionable. don't do it! if it doesn't look good on you, don't worry about it.
