"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.

Would you recommend this book? I've only read Beloved and it was... something.
