Maya angelou mother quotes4/10/2024 “I don’t think she ever knew that a deep-brooding love hung over everything she touched.” “My Mothers Gift of Courage To Me Were Both Large and Small.” But more important, whether they met her or simply heard about her, she was there with me. “My mother spoke highly of me, and to me. “I will look after you and I will look after anybody you say needs to be looked after, any way you say. If you’re for the right thing, then you do it without thinking.” “Mother whispered, “See, you don’t have to think about doing the right thing. The latter are woven so subtly into the fabric of my psyche that I can hardly distinguish where she stops and I begin.” “My mother’s gifts of courage to me were both large and small. Maybe now you’ll have a chance to grow up.“ You’re going to leave your mother’s big comfortable house and she won’t stop you, because she knows you too well.“ You don’t want anybody telling you what time you have to be in at night or how to raise your baby. “Yes, if no one wanted it, they’d do away with it.” “But Mom, isn’t that place called a place for the protection of animals?” “Mom, did he mean he would have to kill my cat?” He was clutching the small animal so tightly I thought he himself might put an end to its miserable life. “Independence is a heady draft, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does.” She stands between the unknown and the known.” Not just because she feeds and also loves and cuddles and even mollycoddles a child, but because in an interesting and maybe an eerie and unworldly way, she stands in the gap. “I really saw clearly, and for the first time, why a mother is really important. Hope spreads around the earth, brightening all things, Even hate, which crouches breeding in dark corridors.” It rides on the shoulders of our aged as they walk into their sunsets. “Hope is born again in the faces of children. “If you know that youth is dying on the run and my daughter trades dope stories with your son we’d better see what all our fearing and our jeering and our crying and our lying brought about. “Mother’s beauty made her powerful and her power made her unflinchingly honest.“ She was never mentioned to anyone because we simply didn’t have enough of her to share.”
