I am not wrong: Wrong is not my name

Bisexuality means I am free and I am as likely to want to love a woman as I am likely to want to love a man, and what about that? Isn't that what freedom implies?

To tell the truth is to become beautiful, to begin to love yourself, value yourself. And that's political, in its most profound way.

Poetry is a political act because it involves telling the truth.

Like a lot of Black women, I have always had to invent the power my freedom requires.

We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived.

Maybe the purpose of being here, wherever we are, is to increase the durability and occasions of love among and between peoples.

Overall, white men run America. From nuclear armaments to the filth and jeopardy of New York City subways to the cruel mismanagement of health care, is there anything to boast about?

Body and soul, Black America reveals the extreme questions of contemporary life, questions of freedom and identity: How can I be who I am?

To tell the truth is to become beautiful.

If you are free, you are not predictable and you are not controllable.

So consider your options, make your choice and call me home.

Do you think your soul is more beautiful than your body?

And a leader has to command confidence, and consent.

Find peace in knowing.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

Today's enemies can be your friends tomorrow. And today's friends can be tomorrow's enemies.

It is a sad thing to me that in this world a persons value is measured by the size of their wallet.

Take a deep breath, listen to your favorite song and realize everything is gonna be okay, nothing is permanent.

~As a working mother high heels don't really fit into my life anymore - but in a totally wonderful way. I would much rather think about my son than myself.~

I became a Catholic against my will.
