This quote by Toni Morrison has had a profound impact on my work.  I have always been fascinated by language and its powers to convey a range of feelings, thoughts, principles, rules, laws, and customs.  And, as I move forward with my construction of handmade books, I know that this quote will continue to resonate strongly in my work.
