"The blues are a part of me."

"I tire so of hearing people say, Let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread."

"I am so tired of waiting, aren’t you, for the world to become good and beautiful and kind?"

"I have seen the world, and it is a strange place."

"I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go."
