Maya Angelou

I get up in the morning, and I’m reluctant to turn on the television.

Maya Angelou

I had to trust life, since I was young enough to believe that life loved the person who dared to live it.

Maya Angelou

I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I’m a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself – all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.

Maya Angelou

I have a son, who is my heart. A wonderful young man, daring and loving and strong and kind.

Maya Angelou

I have enough of life in me to make somebody jealous enough to want to knock me down. I have so much courage in me that I have the effrontery, the incredible gall to stand up. That’s it. That’s how you get to know who you are.

Maya Angelou

I have great respect for the past.

Maya Angelou

I have need of a friend. There is one and only one who will give the air from his failing lungs for my body’s mend. And that one is my love.

Maya Angelou

I keep hitting the escape button but I am still here!

Maya Angelou

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

Maya Angelou

I know that I’ve been guided by God. I am obedient.
