If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.
Maya Angelou
Image
A Woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself
Maya Angelou
Image
When people see the laughing face, even if they're jealous of it, their burden is lightened. But do it first for yourself. Laugh and dare to try to love somebody, starting with yourself.
Maya Angelou
Image
Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.
Maya Angelou
Image
I do not think of myself as unusually creative. I think we all come from the creator, each human being streaming with the glory. So each one of us is creative.
Maya Angelou
Image
The happy heart runs with the river, floats on the air, lifts to the music, soars with the eagle, hopes with the prayer.

Still, when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds.
Maya Angelou
Image
I would ask every man and every woman who's had the blessing of having children, 'Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?' To love someone takes a lot of courage. So how much more is one challenged when the love is of the same sex and the laws say, 'I forbid you from loving this person'?
Maya Angelou
Image
I had to trust life and believe that life loved the person who dared to live it.
Maya Angelou
Image
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Maya Angelou
Image
A woman needs someone she can trust, someone who laughs when she laughs, but who has different ideas so she can learn from and teach to them. She needs someone who will stand up with her and encourage her to be a woman-not just a female. See where you are, admit what you know, and what you need, and search for a sister friend.
Maya Angelou
Image
Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
Maya Angelou
Image
The woman who survives intact and happy must be at once tender and tough.
Maya Angelou
Image
I read the Bible to myself I'll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.
Maya Angelou
Image
I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.
Maya Angelou
Image
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true.
Maya Angelou
Image
The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.
Maya Angelou
Image
I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.
Maya Angelou
Image
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
