Maya Angelou
Sunday, if I'm lucky, I'll go to church or listen to some good spiritual advice on the television or on the radio. I take three or four baths to try to cleanse myself, so I'm fresh for Monday.
Maya Angelou
The thorn from the bush one has planted, nourished and pruned pricks more deeply and draws more blood.
Maya Angelou
You think you may not be heard. Speak anyway.
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
