Maya Angelou

No not me go find someone else to bring down

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination full of hope.

The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

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.

I believe talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.

We need to haunt the house of history and listen anew to the ancestors' wisdom.

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.

by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.
