What good is a man’s life if he can’t even choose what to die for?

-Omar in Toni Morrison’s #SongOfSolomon

#Walking it like he belonged on it; like his legs were stalks, tree trunks, a part of his body that extended down down down into the rock and soil and were confortable there—on the earth and on the place where he walked.

-Narrator in Toni Morrison’s #SongofSolomon
