More quotes by Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.
Maya Angelou
If we live long enough, we may even get over war. I imagine a time when somebody will mention the word war and everyone in the room will start to laugh. And what do you mean war?
Maya Angelou
We are only as blind as we want to be.
Maya Angelou
Mostly, what I have learned so far about aging, despite the creakiness of one's bones and cragginess of one's once-silken skin, is this: Do it. By all means, do it.
Maya Angelou
