Quotes by Toni Morrison

I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said,
"You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it."
And I said, "But, Daddy, no one's going to see it!"
And he said, "Yeah, but I know it's there." So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.
