    Maya Angelou
    “Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
    I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
    But when I start to tell them,
    They think I'm telling lies.
    I say,
    It's in the reach of my arms
    The span of my hips,
    The stride of my step,
    The curl of my lips.
    I'm a woman
    Phenomenally.
    Phenomenal woman,
    That's me.”

    Maya Angelou
    “We love and lose in China,
    we weep on England's moors,
    and laugh and moan in Guinea,
    and thrive on Spanish shores.
    We seek success in Finland,
    are born and die in Maine.
    In minor ways we differ,
    in major we're the same.”
    ― Maya Angelou

    A dance that's walked,
    A song that's spoke,
    I laugh so hard I almost choke,
    When I think about myself.”
