Maya Angelou
I'm sorry to say that when some people get to age 50, they say, Well, that's the end, I'll never have to do sex again. They lay down first and get up last! But in your sixties, everything is sweeter. You have more time.
Maya Angelou
People will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
The future is plump with promise.
Maya Angelou
I might have it at six-fifteen a.m. just as soon as I get in, but usually it's about eleven o'clock when I'll have a glass of sherry.
Maya Angelou
