I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.

I had read a Tale of Two Cities and found it up to my standards as a romantic novel. She opened the first page and I heard poetry for the first time in my life...her voice slid in and curved down trough and over the words. She was nearly singing.

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.

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't know my story.

The children to whom we read simple stories may or may not show gratitude, but each boon we give strengthens the pillars of the world.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

Women been gittin' pregnant ever since Eve ate that apple.
