Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a womanPhenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Maya Angelou ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, an art to live by. They painted every passion, every home, created every beautiful child. In the winter they were weavers of warmth, in the summer they were carpenters of love. The thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow. -Jewel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. Anais Nin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. Anais Nin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision. Helen Keller ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim. Aristotle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean. Socrates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Plato ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet. Plato ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain. Robert Frost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense. Robert Frost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me. Robert Frost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it. Robert Frost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine. Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The best artist has that thought alone Which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone. Michelangelo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return. Leonardo da Vinci ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death. Leonardo da Vinci ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary. Mark Twain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
