"Life loves the liver of it. You..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“You should not confuse your career with your life.”

“The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.”

“The Master Speed No speed of wind or water rushing by but you have speed far greater. You can climb back up a stream of radiance to the sky, and back through history up the stream of time. And you were given this swiftness, not for haste nor chiefly that you may go where you will, but in the rush of everything to waste, that you may have the power of standing still-- off any still or moving thing you say. Two such as you with such a master speed From one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.”

“I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies.”

“The absurd hero's refusal to hope becomes his singular ability to live in the present with passion.”

“When we really live truth, we will cease to talk about it.”
