More From Maya Angelou
- "Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness."
- "Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
- "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
More In Work
- "The difference between people who believe they have books inside of them and those who actually write books is sheer cussed persistence – the ability to make yourself work at your craft, every day – the belief, even in the face of obstacles, that you’ve got something worth saying."― Jennifer Weiner
- "All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared."― Ben Affleck
- "Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do."― Mark Twain
