Maya Angelou

Thank you, Maya Angelou

May 29, 2014 by Patricia Sands 21 Comments

Her voice is stilled but her words will live forever. Here are a few of my favourites.

Rest in peace, Dr. Angelou, and thank you.

Needless to say, there are countless pages of praise shared about this remarkable woman, after her passing yesterday. I particularly liked what TIME had to say:

“When Maya Angelou was 16 she became not only the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco but the first woman conductor. By the time she was 40 she had also been, in no particular order, a cook, a waitress, a madam, a prostitute, a dancer, an actress, a playwright, an editor at an English-language newspaper in Egypt, and a Calypso singer (her one album is entitled “Miss Calypso.”) It wasn’t until 1970, when she was 41, that she became an author: her first book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, told the story of her life up to the age of 17. That remarkable life story ended today at the age of 86.”

If you were asked to choose one single quote of hers, which would it be?
