Quote of the day - Maya Angelou
I’ve been watching the iconoclasts series from Sundance, and came across a episode of David Chappelle and Maya Angelou, where one bit blew me away.
As my friend Michiel says, Maya Angelou should be “read” by Maya Angelou, but i haven’t been able to find the clip, so buy the dvd/itunes episode.
I could not find the quote online, and simply for the greater good i wrote it down, so it will always be preserved (or as long the internet exists anyway)
David Chappelle:
“You’ve written books, you teach.
And your from a time when the society, would tell you that, these types of things probably wasn’t in the realm of possibilities
And fact that you’ve lived abroad, a global perspective, pre-globalisation.What do you attribute it to?”
Maya Angelou:
“I attribute it to Love
Love is a condition, so powerful that it may be that, which holds the stars in a firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins.
Courage, you have to have courage to love somebody.
Because you risk everything, everything“
