The truth is very important. No matter how negative it is, it is imperative that you learn the truth, not necessarily the facts. I mean, that, that can come, but facts can stand in front of the truth and almost obscure the truth. It is imperative that students learn the truth of our history.

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

Maya Angelou
You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.
Maya Angelou
Being free is being able to accept people for what they are, and not try to understand all they are or be what they are.
