Letter to My Daughter by Maya Angelou
5.0
A simple, straight forward masterpiece. I read the entire book in two hours because of how digestible and honest I found all of the 28 entries. A few quotes that resonated with me:
On living in the South,
In an an unfamiliar culture, it is wise to offer no innovations, no suggestions, or lessons. The epitome of sophistication is utter simplicity.
On living in the South,
Many find themselves happy, without being able to explain the emotion. I think it is simply that they feel generally important. Southern themes will range from genres and luscious love to rule and bitter hate, but no one can ever claim that the South is petty or indifferent. Even in little Stamps, Arkansas, black people walk with an air which implies “when I walk in, they may like or dislike me, but everybody knows I’m here.”
