"If somebody is really trying to take..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.”

“I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.”

“She comprehended the perversity of life, that in the struggle lies the joy.”

“Any time you know you're within the law, within your legal rights, within your moral rights, in accord with justice, then die for what you believe in. But don't die alone. Let your dying be reciprocal. This is what is meant by equality. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.”

“If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.”

“I want to get non-aerosol mace, you just rub it in. "Dude who is attacking me - come a little closer!"”

“Nonviolence in the sense of mere non-killing does not appear to me, therefore, to be of any improvement on the technique of violence.”

“The moral to be legitimately drawn from the supreme tragedy of the bomb is that it will not be destroyed by counter bombs even as violence cannot be by counter-violence.”

“Guns are bad, I tell you.”
