Moderation in all things. And even moderation in moderation. Don't get too much moderation, you know?

Be the rainbow in someone else's cloud.

I write because I am a Black woman, listening attentively to her people.

Step off the road. Build yourself a brand new path.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

In all the institutions I try to be present and accountable for all I do and leave undone. I know that eventually I shall have to be present and accountable n the presence of God. I do not wish to be found wanting.

No human being can be more human than another human being. I liberate you from my ignorance.
