The Maya Angelou quote is a very poor choice. I don't know if the author realizes the absurdity of putting the civil rights movement in parallel with her "PKM journey"

Does it really matter what context the quote was initially said in, if it generalizes to be applicable to many other things?

For context, this is the quote that is "absurd":

> You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been

I feel like that'd be fine in a lot of different contexts.
