"I like to go back and read..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“I keep on dying, Because I love to live”

“This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before.”

“Almost anything is too much. I am trying in my poems to have the reader be the experiencer. I do not want to be there. It is not even a walk we take together.”

“Like strange mechanical grotesques,Making fantastic arabesques,The shadows raced across the blind.”

“The drama is complete poetry. The ode and the epic contain it only in germ; it contains both of them in a state of high development, and epitomizes both.”

“People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book.

Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.”

“She came into a room; she stood, as he had often seen her, in a doorway with lots of people round her. But it was Clarissa one remembered. Not that she was striking; not beautiful at all; there was nothing picturesque about her; she never said anything specially clever; there she was however; there she was.”

“His voice, even now, follows me everywhere on this longest of rides, this thing called life.”
