There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others

A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim.

All great achievements require time.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

I created myself. I have taught myself so much.

I’m not a writer who teaches. I’m a teacher who writes.

I got my own back.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.
