I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.

In honor of her passing let's share some of her wonderful quotes.

One of my favorites is :

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.



This one has sort of hit me in the face in the past few years.

I saw her speak on campus at Stony Brook in the late 80s and I remember her last words to the group, "Go to the library. Read. Keep reading. Don't ever stop." I know, not as touching as some of her other quotes but I could tell she meant it and because I heard her say it live, it meant a lot. She was telling us to never stop educating ourselves.

So many to chose from! Some of my favorites:

"Be a rainbow in someone else's cloud"

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it"

I remember reading those when I was going through a difficult period in my life and it really affected me. Such a unique and powerful voice, she will be truly missed.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
