More quotes by Maya Angelou
The woman who truly intends to live a good life is already living phenomenally since intent is part of the achievement.
Maya Angelou
Its not where your dreams take you, its where you take your dreams.
Maya Angelou
Life loves the liver of it.
Maya Angelou
I'm really saddened by the attempts to separate and polarize. This is a time when we have hungry people, people out of work, and people out of spirit. This is a time where we need to uplift, not to separate.
Maya Angelou
The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.
Maya Angelou
Making a decision to write was a lot like deciding to jump into a frozen lake.
Maya Angelou
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
Maya Angelou
Let me tell so much truth. I want to tell the truth in my work. The truth will lead me to all.
Maya Angelou
Still, when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds.
Maya Angelou
I am convinced that words are things, and we simply don't have the machinery to measure what they are. I believe that words are tangible things.
Maya Angelou
People trying to separate people rather than bring us together... please. You don't just see it in America. It's all over the world.
Maya Angelou
In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.
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
Without willing it, I had gone from being ignorant of being ignorant to being aware of being aware. And the worst part of my awareness was that I didn't know what I was aware of. I knew I knew very little, but I was certain that the things I had yet to learn wouldn't be taught to me at George Washington High School.
Maya Angelou
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaking need for an unshakable God. My pretty Black brother was my Kingdom Come.
Maya Angelou
I am a woman phenomenally, phenomenal woman that is your grandmother, that is your mother, that is your sister, that is you and that is me.
Maya Angelou
If a person - any human being - is told often enough, You are nothing. You are nothing. You account for nothing. You count for nothing. You are less than a human being. I have no visibility of you, the person finally begins to believe it.
Maya Angelou
I'm a descendant of someone bought and sold, and brought in 1619 in what was to become the United States.
Maya Angelou
I have enough of life in me to make somebody jealous enough to want to knock me down. I have so much courage in me that I have the effrontery, the incredible gall to stand up. That's it. That's how you get to know who you are.
Maya Angelou
