“Many readers judge of the power of a book by the shock it gives their feelingsas some savage tribes determine the power of muskets by their recoil; that being considered best which fairly prostrates the purchaser.”

“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didnt love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
