The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.

The Black female is assaulted in her tender years by all those common forces of nature at the same time she is caught in the tripartite crossfire of masculine prejudice, white illogical hate and Black lack of power.

One must know not just how to accept a gift, but with what grace to share it.

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.

The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.

I think a number of the leaders are, whether you like it or not, in the hip-hop generation. And when they understand enough, they'll do wonders. I count on them.

If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
