Eating is so intimate. It's very sensual. When you invite so... - Maya Angelou

"I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people."

"I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better."

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

"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return."

"There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it."
