There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
American poet, singer, memoirist, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows.
The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason
By means of knowledge we raise ourselves above everybody else
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart
It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure
A lovely face is the solace of wounded hearts and the key of locked-up gates
