Bear even the nights when she was close but out of sight, behind walls and doors lying next to him.

Him mostly.’ Chapter 9, pg. 100 Quote 17: ‘[T]hey killed the flirt whom folks called Life for leading them on. Making them think the next sunrise would be worth it; that another stroke of time would do it at last. Only when she was dead would they be safe.

This is worse. Then it was for herself.

Waking up to find one brother then another not at the bottom of the bed, his foot jabbing her spine. Sitting at the table eating turnips and saving the liquor for her grandmother to drink; her mother’s hand on the keeping-room door and her voice saying, ‘Baby Suggs is gone, Denver.’ And when she got around to worrying about what would be the case if Sethe died or Paul D took her away, a dream-come-true comes true just to leave her on a pile of newspaper in the dark.’ Chapter 12, pg. 123 Quote 20: ‘had all the children she needed. If her boys came back one day, and Denver and Beloved stayed on — well, it would be the way it was supposed to be, no? Right after she saw the shadows holding hands at the side of the road hadn’t the picture altered? And the minute she saw the dress and shoes sitting in the front yard, she broke water. Didn’t even have to see the face burning in the sunlight. She had been dreaming it for years.’ Chapter 13, pg.

132 Quote 21: ‘It made them furious. They swallowed baking soda, the morning after, to calm the stomach violence caused by the bounty, the reckless generosity on display at 124.

I would have known at once when my water broke. And when I did see your face it had more than a hint of what you would look like after all these years.
I would have known who you were right away because the cup after cup of water you drank proved and connected to the fact that you dribbled clear spit on my face the day I got to 124. I would have known right off, but Paul D distracted me. Otherwise I would have seen my fingernail prints right there on your forehead for all the world to see. From when I held your head up, out in the shed. And later on, when you asked me about the earrings I used to dangle for you to play with, I would have recognized you right off, except for Paul D.’ Chapter 20, pg. 203 Quote 23: ‘All the time, I’m afraid the thing that happened that made it all right for my mother to kill my sister could happen again.

Whatever it is, it comes from outside this house, outside the yard, and it can come right on in the yard if it wants to. So I never leave this house and I watch over the yard, so it can’t happen again and my mother won’t have to kill me too.’ Chapter 21, pg.
