Poetry is music written for the human voice.

I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.

Strong women- precious jewels all- their humanness is evident in their accessibility. We are able to enter into the spirit of these women and rejoice in their warmth and courage.

That's what you want to do? Then nothing beats a trial but a failure. Give it everything you've got. I've told you many times, 'Cant do is like Dont Care.' Neither of them have a home.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me.

If you were the President of the United States or the Queen of England - you couldn't have a person who would be more protective than my mother was for me. Which meant really that I could dare to do all sorts of things.
