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 GiovanniPoetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together.
Nikki GiovanniI think life is cotton candy on a rainy day. For those who grew up with cotton candy the old-fashioned way, it is very delicate. Pre-made cotton candy that has preservatives is not nearly as good or true. True cotton candy is sugar, color, and air and it melts very quickly. That was the metaphor - it can't be preserved, it can't be put aside, it can't be banked. It has to be experienced, like life.
