You only are free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.

More quotes by Maya Angelou
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
Maya Angelou
Love is a condition so powerful it may be that which pulls the stars in the firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins. Courage: you have to have courage to love somebody because you risk everything-ever ything.
Maya Angelou
Courage allows the successful woman to fail - and to learn powerful lessons from the failure - so that in the end, she didn't fail at all.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
Maya Angelou
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
To those who are given much, much is expected.
Maya Angelou
It's true. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. It still humbles me.
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
Look heavenward and speak the word aloud. Peace. We look at our world and speak the word aloud. Peace.
Maya Angelou
To be angry is very good. It burns out things and leaves nutrients in the soil. You should always be ready to be angry at injustice and cruelty.
Maya Angelou
If we are honest and fair, then we are known by that. If we are not, alas, we are known by that as well. What we want to do is do right, but you have to say it, you have to show it, and not stop.
Maya Angelou
And one of my absolute favorite quotes of all-time, one that I've adopted as one of my greatest life mottos: Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: I'm with you kid. Let's go.
Maya Angelou
I believe what I have to say is important, and I believe the people coming to hear me are important, and so the occasion of itself alone has an importance, which forces me to stare down my nerves.
Maya Angelou
When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else.
Maya Angelou
Step off the road. Build yourself a brand new path.
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
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
Life is a glorious banquet, a limitless and delicious buffet.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
Maya Angelou
Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.
Maya Angelou
