"Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with shades of deeper meaning." Maya Angelou (1928-2014) from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
And God's inspiration to make them holy and sacred (NJ Azzaro)
"Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own backyard.
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." Maya Angelou from Still I Rise
