From Toni Morrison

Introducing Wordly Inspiration, an occasional series of words and writing.

Our first Wordly Inspiration quote comes from Toni Morrison from her Nobel prize acceptance speech in 1993:

'Word-work is sublime … because it is generative; it makes meaning that secures our difference, our human difference — the way in which we are like no other life.
We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.'
