More quotes by Maya Angelou
Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
Maya Angelou
In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.
Maya Angelou
We agreed that great men and women should be forced to live as long as possible. The reverence they enjoyed was a life sentence, which they could neither revoke nor modify.
Maya Angelou
I'm a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I'm even afraid of it - it's a learned affectation and it's just stuck on me like decals.
Maya Angelou
No one can take the place of a friend, no one.
Maya Angelou
I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.
Maya Angelou
Human beings love poetry. They don't even know it sometimes... whether they're the songs of Bono, or the songs of Justin Bieber... they're listening to poetry.
Maya Angelou
I'm a descendant of someone bought and sold, and brought in 1619 in what was to become the United States.
Maya Angelou
My grandmother told me that every good thing I do helps some human being in the world. I believed her 50 years ago and still do.
Maya Angelou
I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine ... before she realizes she's reading.
Maya Angelou
And I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, Can I be of help?
Maya Angelou
I wish that we could look into each other's faces, in each other's eyes, and see our own selves. I hope that the children have not been so scarred by their upbringing that they only think fear when they see someone else who looks separate from them.
Maya Angelou
If you have a song to sing, who are you not to open your mouth and sing to the world?
Maya Angelou
When I'm writing, I write. And then it's as if the muse is convinced that I'm serious and says, 'Okay. Okay. I'll come.'
Maya Angelou
It's a wonderful thing to know that there is something to know there is something greater than I am, and that is God itself.
Maya Angelou
Easy reading is damn hard writing. But if it's right, it's easy. It's the other way round, too. If it's slovenly written, then it's hard to read. It doesn't give the reader what the careful writer can give the reader.
Maya Angelou
Everyone has at least one story, and each of us is funny if we admit it. You have to admit you're the funniest person you've ever heard of.
Maya Angelou
Age is nothing waking up is everything.
Maya Angelou
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.
Maya Angelou
I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias.
Maya Angelou
