More quotes by Maya Angelou
I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine ... before she realizes she's reading.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Anything that works against you can also work for you once you understand the Principle of Reverse.

Maya Angelou
I write because I am a Black woman, listening attentively to her people.
Maya Angelou
I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.
Maya Angelou
I'm just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.
Maya Angelou
Early on, I was so impressed with Charles Dickens. I grew up in the South, in a little village in Arkansas, and the whites in my town were really mean, and rude. Dickens, I could tell, wouldn't be a man who would curse me out and talk to me rudely.
Maya Angelou
No one has ever become poor from giving.
Maya Angelou
I have no modesty. Modesty is a learned affectation. It's like decal stuck up on a person.
Maya Angelou
