Here are a few of my favorite Maya-Lines: <br /><br />“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”<br /><br />“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”<br /><br /><br />And then there’s this great story about cockroaches and her visit to Africa:<br /><br />http://middleeast.about.com/od/booksopinions/a/me081212a.htmCindyWhttp://www.meltingteapot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615274882068597937.post-86062195599042064352010-05-10T11:28:04.727-07:002010-05-10T11:28:04.727-07:00She has such a fragile yet strong beautiful presse...She has such a fragile yet strong beautiful pressence!
