"Autobiography is awfully seductive; it's wonderful. Once..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“You know, I never trust people who don't laugh, who said, "I am serious" and act as if they put airplane glue on the back of their hands and stuck the glue to their foreheads. I think, "You're not serious; you're boring as hell."”

“I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.”

“To those who are given much, much is expected.”

“Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.”

“Find enough clever things to say, and you're a Prime Minister; write them down and you're a Shakespeare.”

“Don't explain your author, read him right and he explains himself.”

“I write about, more or less, everything I can think of, that is I stretch my imagination as far as it'll go. I am kind of stuck in the middle as far as my life goes, and hence my imagination tends to zero in on things which are indeed in the middle. That is, I don't write about the very rich, who I scarcely know, or the very poor who I don't know very well either.”

“The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight.”

“Writing and rewriting are a constant search for what it is one is saying.”
