As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.

I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.

Life loves the person who dares to live it.
Maya Angelou

I want to thank you, Lord, for life and all that's in it. Thank you for the day and for the hour, and the minute.
Maya Angelou
Image
You only are free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.
Maya Angelou
Image
I suggest that the great art belongs to all people, all the time--that indeed it is made for the people, by the people, to the people.

I'm just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.
Maya Angelou
Image
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
Maya Angelou
Image
I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don't just want to possess it, it will find you.

Your life is much more important that you can imagine... it is your first treasure.
Maya Angelou
