I had read a Tale of Two Cities and found it up to my standards as a romantic novel. She opened the first page and I heard poetry for the first time in my life...her voice slid in and curved down trough and over the words. She was nearly singing. (Maya Angelou, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings")
this is my life. it is my one time to be me. i want to experience every good thing. (Maya Angelou)
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go." (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, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings")
I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed. (Maya Angelou)
Living a life is like constructing a building if you start wrong, you'll end wrong. (Maya Angelou)
Look at my life. I'm floating like mercury around the earth. My footprints shine with stardust. All because I love you. All because you love me. (Maya Angelou)
life is a gift, and i try to respond with grace and courtesy (Maya Angelou)
love life, engage in it, give it all you've got. love it with a passion, because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it (Maya Angelou)
