More quotes by Maya Angelou
If I wanted to write, I had to be willing to develop a kind of concentration found mostly in people awaiting execution. I had to learn technique and surrender my ignorance.
Maya Angelou
Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm, when we look at each other we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike.
Maya Angelou
Poetry gave me back my voice.
Maya Angelou
Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.
Maya Angelou
Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. We need hours of aimless wandering or spates of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops.
Maya Angelou
I'm considered wise, and sometimes I see myself as knowing. Most of the time, I see myself as wanting to know. And I see myself as a very interested person. I've never been bored in my life.
Maya Angelou
Everybody born comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.
Maya Angelou
Had I not had my grandmother, who dared to be my rainbow in the clouds, I would have been just another sexually abused barefoot black girl on the roads of Arkansas.
Maya Angelou
You can't get too high for somebody to bring you down.
Maya Angelou
Love liberates. It doesn't just hold, that's ego. Love liberates.
Maya Angelou
Difficult is a far cry from impossible. The distance between these two lies hope. Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.
Maya Angelou
We are not our brother’s keeper we are our brother and we are our sister. We must look past complexion and see community.
Maya Angelou
There's something which impels us to show our inner souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.
Maya Angelou
You think you may not be heard. Speak anyway.
Maya Angelou
In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.
Maya Angelou
I try to see every day as a celebration.
Maya Angelou
Moderation in all things. And even moderation in moderation. Don't get too much moderation, you know?
Maya Angelou
Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.
Maya Angelou
You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.
Maya Angelou
I find in my poetry and prose the rhythms and imagery of the best - I mean, when I'm at my best - of the good Southern black preachers. The lyricism of the spirituals and the directness of gospel songs and the mystery of blues are in my music or in my poetry and prose, or I missed everything.
