Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences,... - Maya Angelou

"The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise."

"I don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, 'I love you.' ... There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt."

"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return."

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."

"Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option."
