"Yes, but my lonely is mine. Now your lonely is somebody else’s. Made by somebody else and handed to you. Ain’t that something? A secondhand lonely."
— Toni Morrison, Sula (via jonubian)
A Morrison quote a day
“Sweet, she thought. He must think I can’t bear to hear him say it. That after all I have told him […] ‘goodbye’ would break me to pieces. Ain’t that sweet.”
Beloved, by Toni Morrison
"Everyone assumes that we will know how to love instinctively. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we still accept that the family is the primary school for love. Those of us who do not learn how to love among family are expected to experience love in romantic relationships. However, this love often eludes us. And we spend a lifetime undoing the damage caused by cruelty, neglect, and all manner of lovelessness experienced in our families of origin and in relationships where we simply did not know what to do."

bell hooks, all about love (via thechanelmuse)
OMFG this. this is what i mean when i say people love however they know how. and if they learned to love and take love along w some nefarious ass conditions, they do expect to be able to dish it out in the same fashion. rarely do people really think about this shit and its sooo necessary to fucking grow as a human being and be able to exist fully. to face that ugliness. to learn how to love right without requiring any party to forgo their own self-worth.
