More From Toni Morrison

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

If people are pro-israel, they are pro-israel one-hundred-and-twenty percent. if they are anti-israel or pro-palestinian, they tend to be pro-palestinian one-hundred-and-twenty percent. i don't think a decent person has to choose between being pro-israel and pro-palestine. i think you have to be pro-peace.

I have seen a lot of people, by the way, who were pro-life become pro-choice. no one seems to have any difficulty with that at all. that's easily accepted. but, if you are pro-choice and you become pro-life, there are a lot of folks, particularly in the media, who find that unacceptable.

And what is the republican solution to these outrageous [racial] inequalities? there isn't one. and that's the point. denying racism is the new racism. to not acknowledge those statistics, to think of that as a 'black problem' and not an american problem. to believe, as a majority of fox viewers do, that reverse-racism is a bigger problem than racism, that's racist.
Believe Thinking Racism
Another response to racism has been the establishment of unlearning racism workshops, which are often led by white women. these workshops are important, yet they tend to focus primarily on cathartic individual psychological personal prejudice without stressing the need for corresponding change in political commitment and action. a woman who attends an unlearning racism workshop and learns to acknowledge that she is racist is no less a threat than one who does not. acknowledgment of racism is significant when it leads to transformation.

For thirty years now, in times of stress and strain, when something has me backed against the wall and i'm ready to do something really stupid with my anger, a sorrowful face appears in my mind and asks... "problem or inconvenience?" i think of this as the wollman test of reality. life is lumpy. and a lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat, and a lump in the breast are not the same lump. one should learn the difference.

Most organizations only focus on what they do and how they do it - tactics and strategies - and they aren't even aware that this thing called the why exists. focusing on only two pieces of a three piece puzzle leaves an organization, or a career, inherently out of balance. being out of balance, only operating on two of the three pieces, shows up in different ways - increased stress, loss of passion, obsession with what your competition is doing, being forced to play the price game, trouble differentiating. these are all signs that the why is missing.
Stress Passion Loss
Music is a proud, temperamental mistress. give her the time and attention she deserves, and she is yours. slight her and there will come a day when you call and she will not answer. so i began sleeping less to give her the time she needed.
