"Nothing will work unless you do...." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Not everything you do is going to be a masterpiece, but you get art there and you try and sometimes it really happens. The other times you’re just stretching your soul.”

“One of the problems we have as writers is we don't take ourselves seriously while writing; being serious is setting aside a time and saying if it comes, good; if it doesn't come, good, I'll just sit here.”

“I want to be representative of my race-the human race. I have a chance to show how kind we can be, how intelligent and generous we can be.”

“Knowledge kills action; action requires the veils of illusion.”

“We deliberate not about ends, but about means.”

“As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behavior. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behavior. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works.”

“Through constant familiarity, we can definitely establish new behavior patterns, using our tendency to form habits to our advantage. If we make a steady effort, I think we can overcome any form of negative conditioning and make positive changes in our lives. But we need to remember that genuine change doesn't happen overnight.”

“Hustle is waking up the day before you die and realising you gave it your all.”

“Thehighest form of success comes to the man who does not shrink fromdanger, from hardship or from bitter toil, and who, out of these, winsthe splendid ultimate triumph.”
