It is very dangerous to make a person larger than life because, then, young men and women are tempted to believe, well, if he was that great, he's inaccessible, and I can never try to be that or emulate that or achieve that.
Maya Angelou
I write because I am a Black woman, listening attentively to her people.
She was a sister-friend to me, we called each other 'children sisters.' She was a great wife, obviously, and a wonderful mother and a great woman, a great American. When I think of great Americans she's one of the people I think of.
I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.
Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives.
Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.
Courage allows the successful woman to fail - and to learn powerful lessons from the failure - so that in the end, she didn't fail at all.
A man is what a woman makes him and a woman makes herself.
Charlie Chaplin

“I'm not black on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and a woman on Thursday, Friday and Saturday”
“Among their first questions was said to be: Where are the women?”
“the most revolutionary act for a woman will be a self-willed journey—and to be welcomed when she comes home.”
“The irony here is that thanks to molecular archaeology—which includes the study of ancient DNA to trace human movement over time—we now know that men have been the stay-at-homes, and women have been the travelers. The rate of intercontinental migration for women is about eight times that for men.”
“Men can be just as loving and nurturing as women-- it's a libel on men to say they can't-- but we all learn by example. Boys just need nurturing men in their lives so they know it's okay for them to be nurturing.”
“Women have to learn how to talk as much as we listen. Men have to learn how to listen as much as they talk.”
“Perhaps because women are seen as good listeners, I find that a traveling woman—perhaps especially a traveling feminist—becomes a kind of celestial bartender.”
“She didn’t put her finger to the wind; she became the wind.”
“That’s why male adults, and some females too, experience the presence of a strong woman as a dangerous regression to a time of their own vulnerability and dependence.”
“More than a third of all the men, women, and children on this march perished from cold, starvation, and disease. Thanks to President Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act, Cherokee land was left to white farmers who used it to grow cotton with slave labor and to mine gold.”
“She acquired a lifetime aversion to the phrases bless your heart and poor dears.”
