Other quotes by Maya Angelou

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

We can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than we are unalike.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
