“I had a really nice childhood; I had great parents. I earned my allowa...” — Nikki Giovanni Quote

“I had a really nice childhood; I had great parents. I earned my allowance by washing dishes, and in the summer I earned my allowance by working in daddy's garden.”

“Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together.”

“We believe 'Peter Rabbit' because Beatrix Potter believes it. You have to.”

“A really interesting and happy time was when I first went to Florence as a student and studied Italian. I was living in a pensione on an allowance of £40 a month, which was princely. I did a lot of work and enjoyed myself immensely.”

“Sometimes as a parent, you have to give your child that doesn't do his or her chores some tough love and withhold the allowance.”

“I'm a pushover. I make allowances for people if I like them.”
