The Music Was My Friend, My Lover,

I Think We Ought To Give Ourselves More Time. We Should Be More Patient With Ourselves And With Each Other.

We Love And Lose In China, We Weep On England's Moors, And Laugh And Moan In Guinea, And Thrive On Spanish Shores. We Seek Success In Finland, Are Born And Die In Maine. In Minor Ways We Differ, In Major We're The Same.

Hold Those Things That Tell Your History And Protect Them. During Slavery, Who Was Able To Read Or Write Or Keep Anything? The Ability To Have Somebody To Tell Your Story To Is So Important. It Says: 'i Was Here. I May Be Sold Tomorrow. But You Know I Was Here.'

I've Learned That Whenever I Decide Something With An Open Heart, I Usually Make The Right Decision.

I Refuse To Allow Any Man-made Differences To Separate Me From Any Other Human Beings.
