History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Reduce your humanity through what Jules Feiffer called little murders. The minute I hear someone trying to demean me, I know that that person means to have my life. And I will not give it to them. When a person commits these little murders, and then you catch him or her at it, he or she might say, "Oh, I didn't mean it." But make no mistake: It is an assassination attempt.

You can't get too high for somebody to bring you down.

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.

We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.

You only are free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.

We need much less than we think we need.
