If i can't have what i want . . . then my job is to want what i've got and be satisfied that at least there is something more to want
Nikki GiovanniDeal with yourself as a individual, worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.
Nikki GiovanniStorytelling is how history is passed. It's what our ancestors did, it's what everybody's done. It has to come back into a story because otherwise, it's stuck in this book and it's boring and it's academic and I'm not against intelligence and I'm not against education, I don't want to be misunderstood, but we have tell the stories to our young people a little bit early and history gives us a lot of things.
