Just heard on the Joe Madison show

RIP, Dr. Angelou.

was my first introduction of Angelou, and I loved her books since then.

Poetry is a powerful medium as well as literature.

May she rest in peace. Baruch Dayan Emet.

She helped make the world a better place and I miss her already.

I'm so sad. I love everything she wrote. She was such a beautiful woman, inside and out. The world will miss her.

"It is here in my heart, and mind, and memories."

I liked and admired Ms. Angelou very much. She was a role model, a talented woman and a good cook too. I still have a Hillary 2008 campaign T-shirt with the words, "Rise, Hillary, Rise.

Maya will be missed, may she rest in peace.

I really loved her work, especially Life Doesn't Frighten Me and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I also appreciated her devotion to so many important causes, including sexism and racism in American society. Hope she enjoys her new life in heaven. She's earned it.

I hope her passing was easy and without fear.

Thank you, good lady, for "Song for the Old Ones," about the virtue of surviving until the time is right, for "Harlem Hopscotch," which must be spoken to be understood, for "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," that gave voice to pain that is so often voiceless, and for so many other wise poems and stories over the years.

You will be sorely missed.

“People whose history and future were threatened each day by extinction considered that it was only by divine intervention that they were able to live at all. I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.”
Beautiful woman, beautiful pictorial/quotes

“A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.”
