“I think what it was is that Tupac was extremely passionate, very honest and raw in his approach to communicating. He understood communicating. And I think he just did it from a deep place within.”

I live with truth.

I never wanted to he just a housewife. I was too restless.

I have respect for my son because he had sense enough to take responsibility for his own actions.

We must recognize that anger only agitates and incites. It cannot squelch or satisfy the hunger for justice.

The Woodruff Library Archives has done a phenomenal job archiving my son’s materials.

I’m grateful my son was – as any mother would say, I had a very good son.

I think people have gotten to know Tupac much better since he’s been gone than they did when he was here.

Black history won’t stop no bullets.

Everything Tupac said was introspective. He was really honest with himself about himself. He knew his flaws, but he also had such love for his work and his people.

That’s what art is for me. It helps you maintain hope by giving you the ability to either create outside your reality, or to describe your reality.

I wake up every day and think everything sure is awful, but then I ask the Lord what I can do to make it better.

I might be the only one who’s never taken a dime from my son.

We need to read history from the source.

Anger is an all-consuming fire that will burn you and everyone else around you. Where is the justice in that?

Spiritual knowledge improves intuitive ability, innovative ability and communication.

Since I was young, the artistic expression that fashion embodies has inspired me. It’s a way to communicate oneself.

Remember that how you say something is as important as what you say.

In fact, truth cannot be communicated until it is perceived.

Love is simply a bundle of feelings that we express, whether to attract, arouse or communicate our thoughts to someone else.

Being able to communicate our thoughts, ideas and feelings is the most liberated we can ever be.

It seemed rather incongruous that in a society of super sophisticated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
