More quotes by Maya Angelou
Love liberates. Love - not sentimentality, not mush - but true love gives you enough courage that you can say to somebody, Don't do that, baby. And the person will know you're not preaching but teaching.
Maya Angelou
Look what you've already come through! Don't deny it. Say I'm stronger than I thought I was
Maya Angelou
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
I believe everything is energy. I believe that the meal you serve yourself, you prepare, is energy. And if you serve it to your family, it's your gift of energy to them.
Maya Angelou
I'm convinced that I'm a child of God. That's wonderful, exhilarating, liberating, full of promise. But the burden which goes along with that is, I'm convinced that everybody is a child of God. . . . I weep a lot. I thank God I laugh a lot, too. The main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry.
Maya Angelou
I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias.
Maya Angelou
Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.
Maya Angelou
There is an intimate laughter to be found only among friends
Maya Angelou
Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.
Maya Angelou
I agree with Balzac and 19th-century writers, black and white, who say, 'I write for money.' Yes, I think everybody should be paid handsomely I insist on it, and I pay people who work for me, or with me, handsomely.
Maya Angelou
You only are free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.
Maya Angelou
Give yourself time just to be with yourself.
Maya Angelou
On the day of your birth, the Creator filled countless storehouses, set aside for your use and yours alone.
Maya Angelou
We are loved by Love itself. There is nothing good that we can't do.
Maya Angelou
Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.
Maya Angelou
You can't get too high for somebody to bring you down.
Maya Angelou
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
If growing up is painful for the Southern Black girl, being aware of her displacement is the rust on the razor that threatens the throat. It is an unnecessary insult.
Maya Angelou
I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.
Maya Angelou
I come as one, but stand as 10,000.
Maya Angelou
