Home, Truth Is, Cozy Home

Maya Angelou, Jeffrey M. Elliot (1989). “Conversations with Maya Angelou”

Dream, Believe, Home

Maya Angelou (2008). “Letter to My Daughter”, p.7, Random House

Home is a refuge not only from the world, but a refuge from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

Life, Believe, Home

Maya Angelou (2008). “Letter to My Daughter”, p.7, Random House

I always knew from that moment, from the time I found myself at home in that little segregated library in the South, all the way up until I walked up the steps of the New York City library, I always felt, in any town, if I can get to a library, I'll be okay. It really helped me as a child, and that never left me. So I have a special place for every library, in my heart of hearts.

That's what you want to do? Then nothing beats a trial but a failure. Give it everything you've got. I've told you many times, 'Cant do is like Dont Care.' Neither of them have a home.

Home, Giving, Dont Care
