**At once the ideal introduction to the legendary Nobel Prize winner and a lovely and moving keepsake for her devoted readers: a treasury of quotations from her work. With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Zadie Smith.
"She was our conscience. Our seer. Our truthteller." Oprah Winfrey**
This inspirational book juxtaposes quotations, one to a page, drawn from Toni Morrison's entire body of work, both fiction and nonfictionfrom The Bluest Eye to God Help the Child, from Playing in the Dark to *The Source of Self-Regard*to tell a story of self-actualization. It aims to evoke the totality of Toni Morrison's literary vision.
Its compelling sequence of flashes of revelationstunning for their linguistic originality, keenness of psychological observation, and philosophical profundityaddresses issues of abiding interest in Morrison's work: the reach of language for the ineffable; transcendence through imagination; the self and its discontents; the vicissitudes of love; the whirligig of memory; the singular power of women; the original American sin of slavery; the bankruptcy of racial oppression; the complex humanity and art of black people. The Measure of Our Lives brims with elegance of style and mind and moral authority.
