More quotes by Maya Angelou
What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.
Maya Angelou
Let me tell so much truth. I want to tell the truth in my work. The truth will lead me to all.
Maya Angelou
Life loves the liver of it.
Maya Angelou
If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
Maya Angelou
I'm a serious aficionada of country music - Reba McEntire, Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry. I've even written some songs. They haven't done anything of mine yet. But it's only a matter of time.
Maya Angelou
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.
Maya Angelou
Elimination of illiteracy is as serious an issue to our history as the abolition of slavery.
Maya Angelou
I had read a Tale of Two Cities and found it up to my standards as a romantic novel. She opened the first page and I heard poetry for the first time in my life...her voice slid in and curved down trough and over the words. She was nearly singing.
Maya Angelou
Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows me to survive, and better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style.
Maya Angelou
People don't always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you make them feel.
Maya Angelou
The thorn from the bush one has planted, nourished and pruned pricks more deeply and draws more blood.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we are all teachers
Maya Angelou
Don't let anybody raise you. You've been raised.
Maya Angelou
We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same.
Maya Angelou
Each time I write a book, every time I face that yellow pad, the challenge is so great. I have written eleven books, but each time I think, ‘Uh oh, they’re going to find out now. I’ve run a game on everybody and they’re going to find me out.
Maya Angelou
Achievement brings its own anticlimax.
Maya Angelou
You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.
Maya Angelou
Oh, the holiness of being the injured party.
Maya Angelou
Love liberates. It doesn't just hold - that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind.
Maya Angelou
It's still scary every time I go back to the past. Each morning, my heart catches. When I get there, I remember how the light was, where the draft was coming from, what odors were in the air. When I write, I get all the weeping out.
Maya Angelou
