More quotes by Maya Angelou
There is no place where God is not.
Maya Angelou
I've tried to be totally present, so that when I'm finished with a piece of work, I'm finished. ... The work, once completed, does not need me. The work I'm working on needs my total concentration. The one that's finished doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to itself.
Maya Angelou
If you're a human being, you can attempt to do what other human beings have done. We don't understand talent any more than we understand electricity.
Maya Angelou
Information helps you to see that you're not alone. That there's somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who have wept, who've all longed and lost, who've all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you're not really any different from everyone else.
Maya Angelou
I sustain myself with the love of family.
Maya Angelou
When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else. Some decide that happiness and glee are the same thing, they are not. When we choose happiness we accept the responsibility to lighten the load of someone else and to be a light on the path to another who may be walking in darkness.
Maya Angelou
All of my history as an African-American woman, as a Jewish woman, as a Muslim woman. I'm bringing everything I ever knew, and all the stories I've read - everything good, strong, kind and powerful. I bring it all with me into every situation, and I will not allow my life to be minimized by anybody's racism or sexism or ageism.
Maya Angelou
The world had taken a deep breath and was having doubts about continuing to revolve.
Maya Angelou
If we are honest and fair, then we are known by that. If we are not, alas, we are known by that as well. What we want to do is do right, but you have to say it, you have to show it, and not stop.
Maya Angelou
In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.
Maya Angelou
In Stamps the segregation was so complete that most Black children didn't really, absolutely know what whites looked like.
Maya Angelou
Today, the first & last of every Tree/ Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
Maya Angelou
I think we ought to give ourselves more time. We should be more patient with ourselves and with each other.
Maya Angelou
Love builds up the broken wall and straightens the crooked path. Love keeps the stars in the firmament and imposes rhythm on the ocean tides. Each of us is created of it and I suspect each of us was created for it.
Maya Angelou
We are growing up. We are growing up! Out of the idiocies - the ignorances of racism and sexism and ageism and all those ignorances.
Maya Angelou
On the day of your birth, the Creator filled countless storehouses, set aside for your use and yours alone.
Maya Angelou
The black kids, the poor white kids, Spanish-speaking kids, and Asian kids in the US - in the face of everything to the contrary, they still bop and bump, shout and go to school somehow. Their optimism gives me hope.
Maya Angelou
It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.
Maya Angelou
You think you may not be heard. Speak anyway.
Maya Angelou
I have need of a friend. There is one and only one who will give the air from his failing lungs for my body's mend. And that one is my love.
Maya Angelou
