More quotes by Maya Angelou
There's racism and sexism and ageism and all sorts of idiocies. But bad news is not news. We've had bad news as a species for a long time. We've had slavery and human sacrifice and the holocaust and brutalities of such measure.
Maya Angelou
The poetry you read has been written for you, each of you - black, white, Hispanic, man, woman, gay, straight.
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
You can see in others what they don't see in themselves and what the world doesn't see in them.
Maya Angelou
I am serious, so I laugh a lot. You need to laugh. You don't laugh enough. I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.
Maya Angelou
Whenever I'm around some who is modest, I think, 'Run like hell and all of fire.' You don't want modesty, you want humility.
Maya Angelou

When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not shouting 'I'm saved'. I'm whispering 'I get lost'. That is why I chose this way.
Maya Angelou
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.
Maya Angelou
Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use.
Maya Angelou
Poetry helps my soul escape its encasement.
Maya Angelou
The truth brings the past into the present and prepares us for the future. That's what truth does
Maya Angelou
If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
Whether you are happy or whether you are sad, it is wise to remember you are really in process.
Maya Angelou
It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.
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
There's something which impels us to show our inner souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.
