More quotes by Maya Angelou
I will write on the pages of history what I want them to say. I will be myself. I will speak my own name.
Maya Angelou
There is no place where God is not.
Maya Angelou
I would be a liar, a hypocrite, or a fool - and I'm not any of those - to say that I don't write for the reader. I do. But for the reader who hears, who really will work at it, going behind what I seem to say. So I write for myself and that reader who will pay the dues.
Maya Angelou
When you do nothing you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
Maya Angelou
I wouldn't trade anything for my story now.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.
Maya Angelou
Whenever I'm around some who is modest, I think, 'Run like hell and all of fire.' You don't want modesty, you want humility.
Maya Angelou
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Faith is the evidence of the unseen.
Maya Angelou
Do not be wedded forever to fear, yoked eternally to brutishness.
Maya Angelou
Be courageous, but not foolhardy. Walk proud as you are.
Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.
Maya Angelou
A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.
Maya Angelou
We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans - because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings.
Maya Angelou
Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it.
Maya Angelou
Forgive yourself - no one else will.
Maya Angelou
Had I not had my grandmother, who dared to be my rainbow in the clouds, I would have been just another sexually abused barefoot black girl on the roads of Arkansas.
Maya Angelou
