I would like to be proud of having written some poems that will be remembered, but I will never know whether I will have any reason to be proud of that.
“Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.”
“Baby, black promoters oppressed me before white promoters ever got hold of me. Don't talk skin to me.”
