More quotes by Maya Angelou
If you are going down a road and don't like what's in front of you, and look behind you and don't like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path!
Maya Angelou
You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.
Maya Angelou
I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine ... before she realizes she's reading.
Maya Angelou
It's very hard for adults to maintain respect and romance so that a love affair can be sustained over years.
Maya Angelou
And if a person is religious, I think it's good, it helps you a bit. But if you're not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.
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
You have to deal with what you encounter. But you must not be reduced. And so a way not to be reduced is don't whine! Don't let the incidents which take place in life bring you low.
Maya Angelou
If you happen to fall in love with someone in another race, it's more difficult, because you have to translate yourself.
Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust, I'll rise.
Maya Angelou
Some people cannot see a good thing when it is right here, right now. Others can sense a good thing coming when it is days, months, or miles away.
Maya Angelou
If a person - any human being - is told often enough, You are nothing. You are nothing. You account for nothing. You count for nothing. You are less than a human being. I have no visibility of you, the person finally begins to believe it.
Maya Angelou
Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.
Maya Angelou
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
It's good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for awhile their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.
Maya Angelou
Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity.
Maya Angelou
Those of us who submitted or surrendered our ideas and dreams and identities to the 'leaders' must take back our rights, our identities, our responsibilities.
Maya Angelou
You can't get too high for somebody to bring you down.
Maya Angelou
One of the wonderful things about Oprah: She teaches you to keep on stepping.
Maya Angelou
As a nurse, we have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul and body of our patients, their families and ourselves. They may not remember your name but they will never forget the way you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou
