More quotes by Maya Angelou
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.
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
The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.
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
The woman who truly intends to live a good life is already living phenomenally since intent is part of the achievement.
Maya Angelou
When I'm writing, I write. And then it's as if the muse is convinced that I'm serious and says, 'Okay. Okay. I'll come.'
Maya Angelou
In so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me.
Maya Angelou
I believe everything is energy. I believe that the meal you serve yourself, you prepare, is energy. And if you serve it to your family, it's your gift of energy to them.
Maya Angelou
Easy reading is damn hard writing. But if it's right, it's easy. It's the other way round, too. If it's slovenly written, then it's hard to read. It doesn't give the reader what the careful writer can give the reader.
Maya Angelou
I wish that we could look into each other's faces, in each other's eyes, and see our own selves. I hope that the children have not been so scarred by their upbringing that they only think fear when they see someone else who looks separate from them.
Maya Angelou
When teachers or people in authority put me down or in one way or another tried to make me feel less than equal to what they thought I should be - my mother was on my side. It was amazing.
Maya Angelou
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
Maya Angelou
Facts can obscure the truth.
Maya Angelou
In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
On the day of your birth, the Creator filled countless storehouses, set aside for your use and yours alone.
Maya Angelou
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.
Maya Angelou
Money and power can liberate only if they are used to do so. They can imprison and inhibit more finally than barred windows and iron chains.
Maya Angelou
Today, the first & last of every Tree/ Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
Maya Angelou
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
