I write some country music. There's a song called 'I Hope Yo... - Maya Angelou

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."

"I don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, 'I love you.' ... There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt."

"A Woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing.She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself"

"Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!"

"Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness."
