"Nobody can enjoy unless we all enjoy,..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.”

“We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. It may even be necessary to encounter the defeat, so that we can know who we are.”

“No not me go find someone else to bring down”

“I write because I am a Black woman, listening attentively to her people.”

“We with our lives are like islands in the sea... The islands also hang together through the ocean's bottom.”

“The idea of brotherhood re-dawns upon the world with a broader significance than the narrow association of members in a sect or creed.”

“Man seldom questions the fact that ugliness and evil are to be found in the world. But he's never as ready to accept that life also offers unlimited beauty and potential for joy as well as endless opportunities for pleasure.”

“Just to paint is great fun. The colours are lovely to look at and delicious to squeeze out. Matching them, however crudely, with what you see is fascinating and absolutely absorbing.”

“I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine / This little light of mine, I'm feelin' let it shine / I'm feelin' take y'all back to them better times/ I'm feelin' talk about my mama if y'all don't mind”
