More quotes by Maya Angelou
There is an intimate laughter to be found only among friends
Maya Angelou
All of my history as an African-American woman, as a Jewish woman, as a Muslim woman. I'm bringing everything I ever knew, and all the stories I've read - everything good, strong, kind and powerful. I bring it all with me into every situation, and I will not allow my life to be minimized by anybody's racism or sexism or ageism.
Maya Angelou
Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself.
Maya Angelou
It's still scary every time I go back to the past. Each morning, my heart catches. When I get there, I remember how the light was, where the draft was coming from, what odors were in the air. When I write, I get all the weeping out.
Maya Angelou
You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.
Maya Angelou
Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.
Maya Angelou
I will write on the pages of history what I want them to say. I will be myself. I will speak my own name.
Maya Angelou
Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.
Maya Angelou
Whenever something went wrong when I was young - if I had a pimple or if my hair broke - my mom would say, 'Sister mine, I'm going to make you some soup.' And I really thought the soup would make my pimple go away or my hair stronger.
Maya Angelou
Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.
Maya Angelou
I wasn't a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.
Maya Angelou
I couldn't tell fact from fiction, Or if the dream was true My only sure prediction In this world was you. I'd touch your features inchly. Beard love and dared the cost, The sented spiel reeled me unreal And I found my senses lost.
Maya Angelou
We are loved by Love itself. There is nothing good that we can't do.
Maya Angelou
Be courageous, but not foolhardy. Walk proud as you are.
Maya Angelou
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.
Maya Angelou
You dwell in whitened castles with deep and poisoned moats and cannot hear the curses which fill your children's throats.
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
It's a wonderful thing to know that there is something to know there is something greater than I am, and that is God itself.
Maya Angelou
Love liberates. It doesn't just hold, that's ego. Love liberates.
Maya Angelou
Forgive yourself - no one else will.
Maya Angelou
