Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.
Maya Angelou
I know some people might think it odd - unworthy even - for me to have written a cookbook, but I make no apologies. The U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins thought I had demeaned myself by writing poetry for Hallmark Cards, but I am the people's poet so I write for the people.
Maya Angelou
In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
