Maya Angelou
If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
Maya Angelou
Love liberates. It doesn't just hold - that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Tragedy, no matter how sad, becomes boring to those not caught in its addictive caress.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we're all teachers
