“I don’t give a damn about odds,” she says. “Odds don’t tell me what I can’t do. Odds just tell me how hard I’ll have to work to get what I want. Don’t allow anyone to make you feel less.”

“But the daughter of a lion is still a lion, and this is your domain.”

“Never do anything you can’t live with or walk away from the person you can’t live without.” -Pee Wee Kirkland, Basketball Legend

“It is true what they say-When you know, you know.” -Cindy Cherie, Poetess

“This heart of yours.” My laugh is full of self-deprecation. “That you somehow miraculously have given to me, it’s the other sexiest thing about you.”

“You bring my heart beautifully to its knees . . .” --Matthew Spenser, Poet
