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

It's good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for awhile their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.

I'm interested in women's health because I'm a woman. I'd be a darn fool not to be on my own side.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

I thank God that I've lived long enough to see what I have seen, and I pray that people will continue to do better. We are doing better, it may not seem so, but there was a time when people were lynched in the middle of the street and it was not against the law. We are doing better, but we have so much more to do.

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face.
