The New York Times: Maya Angelou, Lyrical Witness of the Jim Crow South, Dies at 86
“LOVE RECOGNIZES NO BARRIERS. IT JUMPS HURDLES, LEAPS FENCES, PENETRATES WALL TO ARRIVE AT ITS DESTINATION FULL OF HOPE.”
“YOUR EYES SHOULD LIGHT UP WHEN YOUR CHILD ENTERS THE ROOM.”
While there is no shortage of heart moving, nor deeply striking, nor inspiring quotes from Maya Angelou, my favorites have always been these two.
God speed you on your journey, and God bless you, Ms. Angelou. For all your public praise, your words have touched many more than you could have ever known.
Thank you.
