“....but it cannot be a mistake to have cared...it cannot be an error to have tried....it cannot be incorrect to have loved.”
― Nikki Giovanni, Nikki Giovanni Poetry Collection

“All we can do, I believe, is take the love and give the love and try to remember who dreamed dreams of us. And try to be faithful to that.”
― Nikki Giovanni, Acolytes

“Love is in short supply
Like leaves on a winter vine
Whether it's right or whether it's wrong
I'll pay the price for mine”
― Nikki Giovanni, Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day

“I love you because I am afraid of the dark and can't sleep in the light....because you, with all your magic powers, were determined that I should love you. Because there was nothing for you but that I would love you. I love you because you made me want to love you more than I love my privacy, my freedom, my commitments, and my responsibilities. I love you because I changed my life to love you.”
― Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems & A Good Cry
