"You do not deserve love regardless of the suffering you have endured. You do not deserve love because somebody did you wrong. You do not deserve love just because you want it. You can only earn--by practice and careful contemplation--the right to express it and you have to learn how to accept it. Love is not a gift. It is a diploma."

--From the novel Paradise by Toni Morrison.

When you put it that way, it makes total sense!
Thanks for clearing that up, haha.
Would you recommend this book? I've only read Beloved and it was... something.

Haha, yeah. I had to read Beloved for class, too. It seems that the only people that read Toni Morrison are English Students and Oprah. What's up with that?
