Each time I write a book, every time I face that yellow pad, the challenge is so great. I have written eleven books, but each time I think, โUh oh, theyโre going to find out now. Iโve run a game on everybody and theyโre going to find me out.
Maya AngelouThe writer has to take the most used, most familiar objects - nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs - ball them together and make them bounce, turn them a certain way and make people get into a romantic mood; and another way, into a bellicose mood. I'm most happy to be a writer.
Maya AngelouWhen we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else. Some decide that happiness and glee are the same thing, they are not. When we choose happiness we accept the responsibility to lighten the load of someone else and to be a light on the path to another who may be walking in darkness.
