#MayaTaughtMe that words have POWER...a simple enough idea, but relevant in the advent of passing social banality off as critical discourse.

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues bc without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently" - #MayaTaughtMe

#MayaTaughtMe that the Great Spirit didn't make a mistake with me & I am much more than the bad things that happen to me." RIP #MayaAngelou

#MayaTaughtMe you may cut me with your words,you may cut me with your eyes,you may kill me with your hatefulness.But still like air ill rise

#MayaTaughtMe To Never Be Ashamed Of My Story. We Inspire Others By Being Honest About Our Misfortunes.

#MayaTaughtMe That it's ok to talk. (I was mute for a little while as a child as well)

so awesome. “@CoachPCare: I love this #MayaTaughtMe hashtag! ”

“@PrestonMitchum: #MayaTaughtMe that Black women were the most amazing people on this universe and to honor them at all times. #MayaAngelou”

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, compassion, humor and style." #MayaAngelou

So #Maya loved us by sharing the totality of her being and womanhood with us. She loved us by demanding we love ourselves and others.

Her invaluable literary & civil rights contributions to our community made her a national treasure: http://trib.al/PADK7jC  #RIPMayaAngelou

YESSSSSSS“@jozenc: If all we see on the Internet today is quotes from Maya Angelou and praise for her work, it will be a good day.”

“When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving... thank the universe.” We are indeed thankful, @DrMayaAngelou. Rest well.

Thank you for those of us, who like caged birds, were always in search of freedom & your story helped from afar in the rescue efforts. #maya
