Maya Angelou
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

Toni Morrison
“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”
Toni Morrison

Nikki Giovanni
“If you don't understand yourself you don't understand anybody else.”
Nikki Giovanni

Elizabeth George
“What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.”
Elizabeth George, Small Changes for a Better Life Growth and Study Guide: Daily Steps to Living God's Plan for You

Nora Ephron
