I felt like sharing some wisdom
Jun. 20th, 2006 09:48 pmI've been rereading Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and just tonight I thought of another quote from Dr. Angelou, which happens to be hanging on my wall, about four feet from my computer. Anyway, it goes:
"Most people don't grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging. But to grow up, to take responsibility for the time you take up, and the space you occupy, to honor every living person for his or her humanity, that is to grow up."
