You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.
Toni Morrison is a freaking genius. This book has so many details, is it ever possible to get tired of figuring it all out? If you want a review of this book, I suggest checking out the 1000-million scholarly articles written about each minuscule word and space and character. Dive deep, so you can fly.
