Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin - find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.
Maya AngelouEvery day offers you 10,000 reasons to cry, but if you can find just one reason to laugh then you will be all right.
Maya AngelouI work very hard, and I play very hard. I'm grateful for life. And I live it - I believe life loves the liver of it. I live it.

Maya AngelouThere is a world of difference between facts and the truth. You can have so many facts that you don't deal with the truth. You never get to the truth. You have the places where, the people who, the times when, the reasons why, the methods how - blah blah. And never get to the human truth. The human truth is as elusive as the air. And as important as the air.
