Maya Angelou
Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity.
Maya Angelou
I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me.
Maya Angelou
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
