Maya Angelou Quotes

Momma Intended To Teach Bailey And Me To Use The Paths Of Life That She And Her Generation And All The Negroes Gone Before Had Found, And Found To Be Safe Ones. She Didn't Cotton To The Idea That Whitefolks Could Be Talked To At All Without Risking One's Life. And Certainly They Couldn't Be Spoken To Insolently. In Fact, Even In Their Absence They Could Not Be Spoken Of Too Harshly Unless We Used The Sobriquet "They." If She Had Been Asked And Had Chosen To Answer The Question Of Whether She Was Cowardly Or Not, She Would Have Said That She Was A Realist.
