When I write, I tend to twist my hair. Something for my small mind to do, I guess.

I think when we don't know what to do it's wise to do nothing. Sit down quietly; quiet our hearts and minds and breathe deeply.

This is my life. it is my one time to be me. i want to experience every good thing.

My grandmother told me that every good thing I do helps some human being in the world. I believed her 50 years ago and still do.

Don't let the man bring you down.

I wish that we could look into each other's faces, in each other's eyes, and see our own selves. I hope that the children have not been so scarred by their upbringing that they only think fear when they see someone else who looks separate from them.

I know why the caged bird sings.
