Thought-provoking words...

From Maya Angelou's 'A Song Flung Up to Heaven'

She says...

'I thought of human beings....... . According to some scientists, we were born to forever crawl in swamps, but for some unexplained reason we decided to stand erect and, despite gravity's pull and push, to remain standing.'

and she adds: '........I would have to examine the quality in the human spirit that continues to rise despite the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.'
