More quotes by Maya Angelou
I am convinced that most people do not grow up ... our real selves, the children inside, are still innocent and shy as magnolias.
Maya Angelou
One of the problems we have as writers is we don't take ourselves seriously while writing being serious is setting aside a time and saying if it comes, good if it doesn't come, good, I'll just sit here.
Maya Angelou
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.
Maya Angelou
The thorn from the bush one has planted, nourished and pruned pricks more deeply and draws more blood.
Maya Angelou
On Saturday afternoons when all the things are done in the house and there's no real work to be done, I play Bach and Chopin and turn it up real loudly and get a good bottle of chardonnay and sit out on my deck and look out at the garden.
Maya Angelou
I had read a Tale of Two Cities and found it up to my standards as a romantic novel. She opened the first page and I heard poetry for the first time in my life...her voice slid in and curved down trough and over the words. She was nearly singing.
Maya Angelou
You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it's all right.
Maya Angelou
Just like moons and suns, With certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.
Maya Angelou
Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway.
Maya Angelou
I believe what I have to say is important, and I believe the people coming to hear me are important, and so the occasion of itself alone has an importance, which forces me to stare down my nerves.
Maya Angelou
I have heard it said that winter, too, will pass, that spring is a sign that summer is due at last. See, all we have to do is hang on.
Maya Angelou
Nathaniel Hawthorne once said that easy reading is damn hard writing.
Maya Angelou
Continue to plant a kiss of concern on the cheek of the sick and the aged and infirm and count that actions as natural and to be expected.
Maya Angelou
If you have a song to sing, who are you not to open your mouth and sing to the world?
Maya Angelou
Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.
Maya Angelou
I try to live what I consider a poetic existence. That means I take responsibility for the air I breathe and the space I take up. I try to be immediate, to be totally present for all my work.
Maya Angelou
You may be pretty or plain, heavy or thin, gay or straight, poor or rich. But remember this: In an election, every voice is equally powerful -- don't underestimate your vote. Voting is the great equalizer.
Maya Angelou
I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don't just want to possess it, it will find you.
Maya Angelou
You build your 'COURAGE MUSCLE' daily, by being courageous in little things. Just do right.
Maya Angelou
I did get knocked down flat in front of the whole world, and I rose. I didn't run away - I rose right where I'd been knocked down. And then that's how you get to know yourself. You say, hmm, I can get up!
Maya Angelou
