Morgan Parker Quotes

I don’t claim to say, All black women are like me, because they’re not Picture Quote #1

I try to convey what it feels like and sounds like and smells like and looks like inside of my particular skin, to move through the world as a black American woman in her mid-twenties Picture Quote #1

We can look at history and see that [political turmoil is] fertile ground for art Picture Quote #1

I guess the only thing I’d say is it [‘There are More Beautiful Things Than BeyoncÃƒÂ©?’] shouldn’t be read as BeyoncÃƒÂ© is not beautiful Picture Quote #1

I wanted [the book ‘There are More Beautiful Things Than BeyoncÃƒÂ©?’] to be colorful. I wanted it to be evocative. I wanted a figure of a black woman that the reader has to confront Picture Quote #1

The book [There are More Beautiful Things Than BeyoncÃƒÂ©?] is quite complex, and I was worried that it would be marketed as one-sided or flat, and I knew that Mickalene’s [Tomas] work would be able to encompass all the many states of being that are in the book Picture Quote #1

We kind of have to rewrite our own stories and our own ways of being free Picture Quote #1

It’s hard for black women to ask for help. We think we don’t need it. We’re used to being in pain and living with it Picture Quote #1

I’ve been thinking a lot about folks denying what has happened in history, or just not acknowledging it Picture Quote #1

So much of my writing process is trying to eliminate any kind of shame or fear of the thoughts that I’m having Picture Quote #1

And I would stop and take you in, all of you, and when our eyes lock we’d just stare into each other’s souls and all of the lost time would come out in the shape of a big smile, a few tears and a tight hug that feels like... I don’t know, it would feel like home Picture Quote #1

Love makes you smart and strong. Smart enough to know there is nothing else that matters. Strong enough to know that nothing else can weaken you. When you’re in love, you’re at peace, you’re whole, and always safe. I know I made you feel at peace Picture Quote #1
