I know right? That's all he had to say. He nails the mannerisms and speech.

His regular work was far out enough that it passed as being produced by an extra-terrestrial.

Sundae 05-13-2014 07:28 AM

Damn.
Talented.

Maya Angelou.
Gave me a different aspect on racism. Wrote amazingly accessible poetry.
An honest and beautiful black woman.

Oh, that's a sad one. I liked her. She was a good egg.

She came to my college when I was s student there and I got to hear her speak. I don't remember what she said, but she had this amazing presence.

What a loss for all of us.

Sundae 05-28-2014 09:17 AM

Oh just remembered a dream about you, Glatt...
Will post in the appropriate thread.

Envy you majorly that you heard her speak. She was one of my heroes.
I have two of her poems by heart, and more lines randomly.

Oh, the passing of Maya Angelou got by me somehow.


ETA: Here's a sad commentary on my life: I don't personally know anyone who will know who Maya Angelou was. Ima test that notion, but, I'm betting it's true.:sniff:

I saw her speak live when i was in college then again years later with my mom. I'm so sad. :(

Here is an excellent article on Maya Angelou.

In fact it is the best news article I've ever read on Yahoo.

footfootfoot 05-28-2014 11:48 AM

Hard to believe. 86 seems young to me.

“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.”
Maya Angelou

Just read this quote today. Smart woman.

Here's a couple I like:

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.


A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim.

infinite monkey 05-28-2014 04:54 PM

Oh, and...

My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.
