Angelou, Maya (1928 – ), US author & poet
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders.
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told, ‘I’m with you kid. Let’s go.’
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.
The need for change bulldozed a road down the centre of my mind.
Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.
I want all my senses engaged. Let me absorb the world’s variety and uniqueness.
How important it is for us to recognise and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
