| QUOTE UNQUOTE | | “It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances. It’s that, that makes it elegant. Good is just more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly—it may be horrible, but at the same time, it’s not a compelling idea. It’s predictable. It needs a tuxedo, it needs a headline, it needs blood, it needs fingernails. It needs all that costume in order to get anybody’s attention. But the opposite, which is survival, blossoming, endurance…This is a more fascinating job. We are already born, we are going to die. So you have to do something interesting that you respect in between.” | | — writer Toni Morrison |
