And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect. Nikki Giovanni

And some old person with no one else to talk to. Will hear my whispers. And cuddlenear Nikki Giovanni
