You know why we're stuck with the myth that only black people have soul? Because white people don't let themselves feel things.

Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me.

Follow your feelings. If it feels right, move forward. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it.

I hope before long to press you in my arms and shall shower on you a million burning kisses as under the Equator.

Think before you speak, your words could hurt someone's feeling more than you intended it to.

They call you heartless; but you have a heart and I love you for being ashamed to show it.
