Additional quotes by Maya Angelou

I did then what I knew best, when I knew better, I did better. Maya Angelo

I had given up some youth for knowledge, but my gain was more valuable than the loss

Cotton rows crisscross the world
And dead-tired nights of yearning
Thunderbolts on leather strops
And all my body burning
Sugar cane reach up to God
And every baby crying
Shame a blanket of my night
And all my days are dying
