Maya Angelou
Step off the road. Build yourself a brand new path.
Maya Angelou
Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity.
Maya Angelou
You may not remember what a person said to you, you may not remember what a person did to you, but you will never forget how a person made you feel!
Maya Angelou
No one can take the place of a friend, no one.
Maya Angelou
Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use.
Maya Angelou
We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.
Maya Angelou
Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.

Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.
Maya Angelou
