I had a really nice childhood; I had great parents. I earned my allowance by washing dishes, and in the summer I earned my allowance by working in daddy's garden.
From Nikki Giovanni
We write because we believe the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be trained.
If you don't understand yourself you don't understand anybody else.
Art is not for the cultivated taste. It is to cultivate taste.
Follow your image as far as you can no matter how useless you think it is. Push yourself.
Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together.
For most of my life, I've thought of myself as pretty cool.
I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.
Some say we are responsible for those we love. Others know we are responsible for those who love us.
Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.
