“There's a place in you that you must keep inviolate. You must keep it pristine. Clean. So that nobody has a right to curse you or treat you badly. Nobody. No mother, father, no wife, no husband, no -- nobody. You have to have a place where you say: 'Stop it. Back up. Don't you know I'm a child of God?'”
-- Dr. Maya Angelou
“Share with people who've earned the right to hear your story.”
