I started writing it six and a half years ago, so the landscape has changed a lot in that time.

It's fascinating how much of our sense of attractiveness and feminine identity is bound up in our hair.

Perfect is very boring, and if you happen to have a different look, that's a celebration of human nature, I think. If we were all symmetrical and perfect, life would be very dull.

There is hope for the living souls.

There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown, love to watch her do her stuff.

If the Negro in the ghetto must eternally be fed by the hand that pushes him into the ghetto, he will never become strong enough to get out of the ghetto.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

Be concerned with the welfare of others without any sense of self-importance that one is better because one meditates or leads a certain type of life.
