Image
It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman Phenomenally.
Maya Angelou
Image
My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.
Maya Angelou
Image
If we live long enough, we may even get over war. I imagine a time when somebody will mention the word war and everyone in the room will start to laugh. And what do you mean war?

Image
The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.

Image
To take a few nouns, and a few pronouns, and adverbs and adjectives, and put them together, ball them up, and throw them against the wall to make them bounce. That's what Norman Mailer did. That's what James Baldwin did, and Joan Didion did, and that's what I do - that's what I mean to do.

Image
That knowledge humbles me, melts my bones, closes my ears, and makes my teeth rock loosely in their gums. And it also liberates me. I am a big bird winging over high mountains, down into serene valleys. I am ripples of waves on silver seas. I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.

Image
I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.
Maya Angelou
Image
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.
Maya Angelou
Image
I want to thank you, Lord, for life and all that's in it. Thank you for the day and for the hour, and the minute.
Maya Angelou
Image
The woman who truly intends to live a good life is already living phenomenally since intent is part of the achievement.
Maya Angelou
Image
The needs of a society determine its ethics.
Maya Angelou
Image
Elimination of illiteracy is as serious an issue to our history as the abolition of slavery.
Maya Angelou
Image
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Easy reading is damn hard writing. But if it's right, it's easy. It's the other way round, too. If it's slovenly written, then it's hard to read. It doesn't give the reader what the careful writer can give the reader.
Maya Angelou
Image
You might encounter defeats but you must never be defeated... Love a lot. Laugh a lot at the silliest things and be very serious... love life.
Maya Angelou
Image
I always felt, if I can get to a library, I'll be OK.
Maya Angelou
Image
Living a life is like constructing a building: if you start wrong, you'll end wrong.
Maya Angelou
Image
Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
Maya Angelou
Image
If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.

Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use.
