"The love of the family, the love..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“I have no modesty. Modesty is a learned affectation. It's like decal stuck up on a person.”

“Step off the road. Build yourself a brand new path.”

“There are great parents of small children - they keep their little hair in bows - but those parents are not always good parents of young adults. As soon as their children get up to some size, it's "Shut up, sit down, you talk too much, keep your distance, I'll send you to Europe!" My mom was a terrible parent of small children but a great parent of young adults. She'd talk to me as if I had some sense.”

“I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.”

“Where love stops, power begins, and violence, and terror”

“Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to be.”

“My mother is so full of joy and life. I am her child. And that is better than being the child of anyone else in the world.”

“I just always knew I was going to be a star. I was always going to be rich so I could buy things for Mommy and Daddy, so that I could buy them a big house and we could have things.”

“I urge you to pursue preserving your personal history to allow your children and grandchildren to know who you were as a child and what your hopes and dreams were.”
