Children Quote by Toni Morrison

“I'll tend to her as no mother ever tended a child, a daughter. Nobody will ever get my milk no more except my own children. I never had to give it to nobody else--and the one time I did it was took from me--they held me down and took it. Milk that belonged to my baby… I know what it is to be…” quote by Toni Morrison

““I'll tend to her as no mother ever tended a child, a daughter. Nobody will ever get my milk no more except my own children. I never had to give it to nobody else--and the one time I did it was took from me--they held me down and took it. Milk that belonged to my baby… I know what it is to be without the milk that belongs to you; to have to fight and holler for it, and to have so little left.””
