- A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song
- Although it appears on U.S. postage featuring Angelou, this is actually a variant quote from the work of poet Joan Walsh Anglund. [1]
- There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
- This is actually from Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks On the Road, though it is widely attributed to Ms. Angelou's book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
- Nearly identical quote attributed to a 1995 TV show, Touched by an Angel : Tess: No, hate has caused a lot of problems in this world, but it's never solved one yet.
- People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.
