"You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise."

'still i rise'

Maya is one of my heroes. What an incredible story teller, poet and lady she is... Betmo, thank you.

Yes betmo and sappho, this is a good one. Dr. Angelou is three times the statesman that Bush is. Wait, 3 times 0 is still 0, right? Math was always my worst subject....

I was perusing ... here I have to comment. Maya Angelou has a beautiful way with words, an irrepressible love for life, and a solid foundation of common sense. She is one awesome lady.
