Sacred Cows...and Other Edibles Quotes

“We cannot leave it to history as a discipline nor to sociology nor science nor economics to tell the story of our people”
― Nikki Giovanni, Sacred Cows...and Other Edibles

“I'm told by my young friends that experience is much more important than books. Of course Ben Franklin had something to say about experience and fools, but even Franklin thought that a fool would learn by his experience. That has proven false in the modern world. Some people are simply unwilling to learn under any circumstances, which maybe, even then, wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so damned proud of it.”
― Nikki Giovanni, Sacred Cows...and Other Edibles
