"I admire people who dare to take..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.”

“One of my lungs is half gone, and the other half, because I smoked for years, has a lesion. So I can't swim anymore and had the swimming pool covered over. Now it's what I call the dance pavilion, and so I and my friends sit out and put music on and watch people dance.”

“All people in the world - who are not hermits or mutes - speak words. They speak different languages, but they speak words. They say, "How are you" or "I'm not feeling well" all over the world. These common words - these common elements that we have between us - the writer has to take some verbs and nouns and pronouns and adjectives and adverbs and arrange them in a way that sound fresh.”

“All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.”

“If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?”

“Names are not always what they seem. The common Welsh name Bzjxxllwcp is pronounced Jackson.”

“Let us not take for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small.”

“Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence neither speed up nor slow down add to nor diminish it is an imponderably valuable gift.”

“I guess I've got a smart wife.”
