I'm an American, and most of the time proud of it. Even when I am displeased with what my country is doing, I am still an American who is displeased. And fortunately, being an American, I don't have to whimper, I don't have to whine, I have the right to protest, and I like that.
Maya Angelou Connected to the Carolinas

More from Maya Angelou
Glory falls around us as we sob a dirge of desolation on the Cross and hatred is the ballast of the rock
We delight in the beauty of butterfly, rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty
We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.
