More quotes by Maya Angelou
I'm a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I'm even afraid of it - it's a learned affectation and it's just stuck on me like decals.
Maya Angelou
I am serious, so I laugh a lot. You need to laugh. You don't laugh enough. I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.
Maya Angelou
In order to win, we pay with energy and effort and discipline. If we lose, we pay in disappointment, discontent, and lack of fulfillment.
Maya Angelou
You never get over the fear of writing.
Maya Angelou
We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.
Maya Angelou
A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face.
Maya Angelou
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Maya Angelou
I wasn't a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.
Maya Angelou
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
Maya Angelou
A single fantasy can transform a million realities.
Maya Angelou
The honorary duty of a human being is to love.
Maya Angelou
I would ask every man and every woman who's had the blessing of having children, 'Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?' To love someone takes a lot of courage. So how much more is one challenged when the love is of the same sex and the laws say, 'I forbid you from loving this person'?
Maya Angelou
Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Maya Angelou
The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.
Maya Angelou
Most people don't grow up. It's too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older.
Maya Angelou
We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. It may even be necessary to encounter the defeat, so that we can know who we are.
Maya Angelou
Love is a condition so powerful it may be that which pulls the stars in the firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins. Courage: you have to have courage to love somebody because you risk everything-ever ything.
Maya Angelou
Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it.
Maya Angelou
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
Maya Angelou
If you're a human being, you can attempt to do what other human beings have done. We don't understand talent any more than we understand electricity.
Maya Angelou
