Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.

How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!

For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.

There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.

At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.

Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise.

A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications. Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.

Nothing will work unless you do.

I find it interresting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at commensurate speed.

I answer the heroic question "Death, where is they sting?" with "It is here in my heart and mind and memories."

Education helps one case cease being intimidated by strange situations.

Achievement brings its own anticlimax.

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.

The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform a million realities.
