Angelou

"Some people who exist sparingly on the mean side of the hill are threatened by those who also live in the shadows but who celebrate the light.
It seems easier to lie prone than to press against the law of gravity and raise the body onto its feet and persist in remaining vertical.
There are many incidents which can eviscerate the stalwart and bring the mighty down. In order to survive, the ample soul needs refreshments and reminders daily of its rights to be and to be wherever it finds itself."
