My pride had been starched by a family who assumed unlimited authority in its own affairs.
Maya AngelouThere are some nights when sleep plays coy, aloof and disdainful. And all the wiles that I employ to win its service to my side are useless as wounded pride, and much more painful.
Maya AngelouCreativity or talent, like electricity, is something I donโt understand but something Iโm able to harness and use. While electricity remains a mystery, I know I can plug into it and light up a cathedral or a synagogue or an operating room and use it to help save a life. Or I can use it to electrocute someone. Like electricity, creativity makes no judgment. I can use it productively or destructively. The important thing is to use it. You canโt use up creativity. The more you use it, the more you have.
Maya AngelouIf you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
