More quotes by Maya Angelou
Fighting for one's freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist. You work all day long and achieve some kind of level of success by nightfall, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with the job still to be done. So you start all over again.
Maya Angelou
Nathaniel Hawthorne once said that easy reading is damn hard writing.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Maya Angelou
Achievement brings its own anticlimax.
Maya Angelou
Do not be wedded forever to fear, yoked eternally to brutishness.
Maya Angelou
I'm just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we're all teachers
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Every Day you should reach out and touch someone
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
