Maya Angelou

Courage is the most important of all virtues, because without it we can't practice any other virtue with consistency.

If one is lucky, a single fantasy can totally transform a million realities.

Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other.

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.

Nobody, but nobody, can make it out here alone.
- All from Maya Angelou
