At one time, you could sit on the Rue de la Paix in Paris or at the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv or in Medina and you could see a person come in, black, white, it didn't matter. You said, 'That's an American' because there's a readiness to smile and to talk to people.Maya Angelou

I like to speak on matters which matter to human beings, and almost everything matters to human beings.Maya Angelou

That's why we paint, that's why we dare to love someone - because we have the impulse to explain who we are.Maya Angelou
The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.Maya Angelou
