Maya Angelou Quotes

The love of a mother liberates.

All that I am,

or ever hope to be,

I owe to my mother.

I can be changed by what happens to me,

but I refuse to be reduced by it.

My mother was my first country,

the first place I ever lived.

To describe my mother would be to

write about a hurricane in its perfect power.

Love liberates.

It doesn’t bind.

The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious,

but the desire to reach hearts is wise.

Try to learn to let what is simply be.

Love recognizes no barriers.

Have enough courage to trust love one more time

and always one more time.

Love recognizes no barriers.

We may encounter many defeats but

we must not be defeated
