'but singular as pecola's life was, i believe some aspects of her woundability were lodged in all young girls'
morrison's way of providing the perspectives of the people around pecola and how they unloaded their own prejudices and experiences with injustice onto this vulnerable child (both intentionally and unintentionally) was such a heartbreaking way of giving depth to pecola's self loathing wish of having blue eyes

THE BOOK that made me fall in love with Toni Morrison. What kept me glued to the pages was the contrast of dark, heavy subject matters delivered in the most beautiful satin-smooth prose written like poetry, words strung together in a mind-boggling way that could only be summoned by the brain of Toni Morrison herself. It felt like she reached a hand into my heart and just squeezed so fucking hard.

Fav quote:
Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe. There is no gift for the beloved. The lover alone possesses his gift of love. The loved one is shorn, neutralized, frozen in the glare of the lover’s inward eye.
