The more you love someone the more he wants from you and the less you have to give since you've already given him your love.
Nikki GiovanniPoems don't have to rhyme... Poems are about beauty and emotion; in other words poems are about feelings.
Nikki GiovanniI think that too many strangers were in her [Nina Simone's] life, and not enough people that she knew and loved.
Nikki GiovanniI am a big fan of the electronic book. I hate to see the old bookstores close, but they have to reinvent themselves. I believe the First Edition bookstore will be the next thing. People will read electronically, then decide they want to own that book. The author will then be invited to the old bookstores to sign. I think books will always be with us, but they will fill a different need.
