I am convinced that most people do not grow up ... our real selves, the children inside, are still innocent and shy as magnolias.
Maya AngelouWhen I'm writing, I write. And then it's as if the muse is convinced that I'm serious and says, 'Okay. Okay. I'll come.'
Maya AngelouWhenever something went wrong when I was young - if I had a pimple or if my hair broke - my mom would say, 'Sister mine, I'm going to make you some soup.' And I really thought the soup would make my pimple go away or my hair stronger.
Maya AngelouIf I'm here, I'll be trying to be a better human being, a better writer, a better friend and a better beloved.
