"A mother's love liberates...." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Live as though life was created for you.”

“Each of us has the right and the responsibility to assess the roads which lie ahead, and those over which we have traveled, and if the future road looms ominous or unpromising, and the roads back uninviting, then we need to gather our resolve and, carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that as well.”

“Some critics will write 'Maya Angelou is a natural writer' - which is right after being a natural heart surgeon.”

“A mother who is really a mother is never free.”

“Drawing ... is an innocent & engaging amusement, often useful, and a qualification not to be neglected in one who is to become a mother & an instructor.”

“A little girl without a doll is almost as unhappy, and quite as impossible, as a woman without children." from chapter VIII of Les Miserables”

“Only when it is a duty to love, only then is love eternally and happily secured against despair.”

“Say she rail; why, I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale. Say that she frown; I'll say she looks as clear As morning roses newly wash'd with dew. Say she be mute and will not speak a word; Then I'll commend her volubility, and say she uttereth piercing eloquence.”

“I love bald men. Just because you've lost your fuzz don't mean you ain't a peach.”
