Additional quotes by Maya Angelou

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.

You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.

Just like moons and suns,
With certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
