Similar feel to ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’
A warm hug from the wise Maya Angelou
First book I read ‘for fun’ while on campus and taking classes!
Quotes I particularly liked:
- “Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude. If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed.”
- “I learned that a friend may be waiting behind a stranger’s face.”
- “All great artists draw from the same resource: the human heart, which tells us all that we are more alike than we are unalike.”
- “In an unfamiliar culture, it is wise to offer no innovations, no suggestions, or lessons. The epitome of sophistication is utter simplicity.”
- “I find relief from the questions only when I concede that I am not obliged to know everything. I remind myself it is sufficient to know what I know, and that what I know, may not always be true. When I find myself filling with rage over the loss of a beloved, I try as soon as possible to remember that my concerns and questions should be focused on what I learned or what I have yet to learn from my departed love. What legacy was left which can help me in the art of living a good life?”
