Maya Angelou, 1928 - 2014

Rest well, Maya Angelou.
Some of my favorite quotes, from people quoting you.
(I wasn't there when you said it, so I'll take their word for it.)


*
“My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.”

“What is a fear of living? It's being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don't know what you're here to do, then just do some good.”

“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”

“My greatest blessing has been the birth of my son. My next greatest blessing has been my ability to turn people into children of mine.”
