Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it! - Maya Angelou

"Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman."

"If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?"

"It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable."

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

"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."
