When you plant lettuce, you don’t blame the lettuce if it does not grow well. You look into the reasons why it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of others, they will grow well, just like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade by means of reason or argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument—just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and any difficult situation will improve.

Nikki Giovanni, For Gwendolyn Brooks [September 23, 1969], in Re:Creation, Broadside Press, Detroit, MI, 1970, p. 12

No Complaints (For Gwendolyn Brooks, 1917-2001)

maybe there is something about the seventh of June: Gwen, Prince and me . . . or maybe people just have to be born at some time . . . and there are only three hundred sixty-five days or three sixty-six every four years or so . . .

– Nikki Giovanni, from ‘Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea’ (2002)
