"And she said, "God loves me," until her whole body vibrated with that knowledge. And Maya is that spiritual. And she's also not afraid to voice her spirituality. It's not a question of religion; it's a question of going beyond religion and being able to see the spirituality, the unity in everyone, which is what Maya has done. Not everybody can do it, but Maya can.
- Louis Meriwether (Maya Angelou-The Poetry of Living, by Margaret Courtney-Clarke)

"We need to remember and to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone; at times it is positively to be wished for...In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God."
- Maya Angelou

"So as I sit her alone, before I rush out to meet the day.....who's voice will I listen to today? Who's voice is here now.....Thank you Lord for this space in time .... May I see everyone today the way You and Maya see them....my heart swells with love for you ...."
