Maya Angelou passed quietly in her home Wednesday morning at
the age of eighty-six. She was a teacher, an activist, and a poet.
Her work has brought peace, beauty and understanding to many. To celebrate a
life well lived, here are a few memorable Maya Angelou quotes: "I've learned that people will forget what
you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you
made them feel." "You are the sum total of everything you've ever
seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it's all there. Everything
influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my
experiences are positive." "I've learned that you shouldn't go
through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw
something back." And my personal favorite: "Try to be a rainbow in
someone's cloud."
