A very cute little book contains the quotations from Toni Morrison's books. Very reviving and refreshing reading them without getting lost in the plot. Some of them are really forceful and most of them are thought-provoking.

What an absolute treat to read in one book, what has to be some of the most beautiful writing. I will return to this time and time again.
circesisl3's review against another edition
I’m honestly at a bit of a lost here, I’ve seen reviews saying this book was a money-grabbing gimmick with Zadie Smith and I’ve seen others who love this book as well. Despite the money-grabbing aspect with Zadie Smith, these quotes were absolutely beautiful and touching. I was in tears after reading this, Morrison writes human emotion and experience that seem unexplainable perfectly. I read Beloved for my 11th grade English class and I wish I was introduced to her sooner. Without context and a full understanding of her entire works, I feel as though I cannot fully appreciate these quotes.

Morrison is wise and her writing is valuable in any form, but perhaps less meaningful when parceled out as lone sentences than when stumbled upon in the middle of a full book or essay.

This was a beautiful collection of Toni Morrison's words taken from her various books. I loved some of the quotes in this book. It was like reading in healing for an aching soul.
