I said if you're thinkin' of being my brother, it don't matter if you're black or white.

Black people still call me Prince. Sometimes I ask them, "Why do you call me Prince?" And people say, "Because you are a prince to us." Usually when they say that, you know my heart goes out and I have to say, "I don't mind your calling me that."

All our lives we sweat and save, Building for a shallow grave.

Rest, nature, books, music...such is my idea of happiness.

There are more valid facts and details in works of art than there are in history books.

I wanted to read all these books, but I would have to have been in a rest home or something to do that.
