Quote

Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway.

Image
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
Image
Live life as if it were created just for you.
Maya Angelou
Image
I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.
Maya Angelou
Image
That knowledge humbles me, melts my bones, closes my ears, and makes my teeth rock loosely in their gums. And it also liberates me. I am a big bird winging over high mountains, down into serene valleys. I am ripples of waves on silver seas. I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.
Maya Angelou
Image
On Saturday afternoons when all the things are done in the house and there's no real work to be done, I play Bach and Chopin and turn it up real loudly and get a good bottle of chardonnay and sit out on my deck and look out at the garden.
Maya Angelou
Image
Happiness is a chance to talk to a friend, to hear good music, to have a good glass of wine. Happiness is a chance to be myself and to find people with whom I agree or who I don't agree but I can learn something.
Maya Angelou
Image
If you're for the right thing, you do it without thinking.
Maya Angelou
Image
We can be better, we can be wiser, we can be more kind. Yes we have to change. We have to grow up and stop acting like 10 years old. Yes there is much to do, much to see, much to go into.
Maya Angelou
Image
Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs?
Maya Angelou
Image
Everyone grows old but not everyone grows up.
Maya Angelou
Image
A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim.
Maya Angelou
Image
Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I'd listen to Italian music.

I certainly do not adore the writer's discipline. I have lost lovers, endangered friendships, and blundered into eccentricity, impelled by a concentration which usually is to be found only in the minds of people about to be executed in the next half hour.
Maya Angelou
Image
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
Image
The hope, the hope that lives in the breast of the black American, is just so tremendous that it overwhelms me sometimes.
Maya Angelou
Image
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
Maya Angelou
Image
If I'm going to a new country, I try to learn something about the language and the culture, so I don't just go bumbling over things.
Maya Angelou
Image
Take a day to heal from the lies you've told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.
Maya Angelou
Image
The woman who survives intact and happy must be at once tender and tough.
Maya Angelou
Image
We must create a climate where people agree that human beings are more alike than unalike. The only way to do that is through education.
