Maya Angelou
Whether you are happy or whether you are sad, it is wise to remember you are really in process.
Maya Angelou
Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I'd listen to Italian music.
Maya Angelou
Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.
Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.
Maya Angelou
