“The final lines of one of Edna St. Vincent Millay's sonnets ... have stayed with me as a valuable standard against which to measure my motives when I write and teach hoping to keep my work relational, and to do it with a servant's heart:
'Love in the open hand, nothing but that ungemmed, unhidden, wishing not to hurt, as one would give you cowslips in a hat swung from the hand, or apples in her skirt, I bring you, calling out, as children do, 'Look what I have! - And these are all for you.”

“The final major area of untapped power for the Negro is in the political arena. Negro population is burgeoning in major cities as tides of migrants flow into them in search of employment and opportunity. These new migrants have substantially higher birth rates than characterize the white population. The two trends, along with the exodus of the white population to the suburbs, are producing fast-gathering Negro majorities in the large cities.
The changing composition of the cities must be seen in the light of their political significance. Particularly in the North, the large cities substantially determine the political destiny of the state. These states, in turn, hold the dominating electoral votes in presidential contests. The future of the Democratic Party, which rests so heavily on its coalition of urban minorities, cannot be assessed without taking into account which way the Negro vote turns. The wistful hopes of the Republican Party for large city influence will also be decided not in the boardrooms of great corporations but in the teeming ghettos. Its 1964 disaster with Goldwater, in which fewer than 6 percent of Negroes voted Republican, indicates that the illustrious ghost of Abraham Lincoln is not sufficient for winning Negro confidence, not so long as the party fails to shrink the influence of its ultra-right wing.”

“The final moment of success is often no more thrilling than taking off a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike. If you went on the hike only to feel that pleasure, you are a fool. Yet people sometimes do just this. They work hard at a task and expect some special euphoria at the end. But when they achieve success and find only moderate and short-lived pleasure, they ask is that all there is? They devalue their accomplishments as a striving after wind. We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them.”
“The final mystery is oneself.”
“The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?”

“The final Nirvana. Don't shake me!
- Geisha, please open your eyes.
- No, go to hell, everyone. I'm dead here!
- It's me, your King. Come back.
Oh, now I know what happened. They didn't eat me; they just nibbled on me and took me to their King. Who's also dead. Then, what for? And at that moment I opened my eyes. Branches. How is it, in the hospital??? Wake-up call.”

“The final option to have your book completed is to hire a ghost writer. The challenge with this option is that it is important to note that your voice IS an integral part of your branding. When you hire someone else, what your readers will ultimately get is their voice. When they see you later at your website or on your social media, your voice will not be the same. This will trigger a feeling of inconsistency when relationships need to be built upon trust and authenticity. Your audience will eventually come to think you are not the “real deal” and will find another to replace you. Finally, your book is a springboard and launching pad to greater things such as speaking, interviews, a product line, etc. Will your ghost writer be available for all of that as well? How will you be able to “ghost write” your way through an interview? Hence the reason I stress speaking in your own voice. You may think you are not perfect, but your authenticity will speak in volumes to your followers and they will be customers for life if they see your true being.”

“The Final Solution (A Sonnet)
O new people, o new humanizers,
The world has been waiting for you long.
Waiting for your dawn with deepest zeal,
Society is weary yet tries to be strong.
Now rise o makers of civilization,
Replenish this death valley with your sanctity.
Make rigidity and prejudice quiver,
Sanitize humanity with rapids of indivisibility.
The sun has gone dark, the moon lost its glory,
All are waiting for your galvanizing advent.
These deserts can no more sustain life,
You alone are hope and the last encouragement.
Walk boldly as the awakening of revolution.
Wake up from indifference and be the final solution.”
