“The sisters and brothers that you meet give you the materials which your character uses to build itself. It is said that some people are born great, others achieve it, some have it thrust upon them. In truth, the ways in which your character is built have to do with all three of those. Those around you, those you choose, and those who choose you.”
―Maya Angelou’s Celebration of Words: 1001 Expressions of an Uncaged Bird, p. 20
