Toni Morrison, on writing:

If writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning,

it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic ...

Authors arrive at text and subtext in thousands of ways,

learning each time they begin anew how to recognize a valuable idea and how to reader the texture that accompanies,

reveals or displays it to its best advantage.

- Toni Morrison.
