How exquisitely human was the wish for permanent happiness, and how thin human imagination became trying to achieve it."

Once again, Toni Morrison has written the kind of book that beats you, kills you, haunts you, and makes you want to stand somewhere really quieter to contemplate the intricacies of society. What IS paradise? Who WILL protect people from their leaders?

Damn.
