Marian Anderson
  • When you stop having dreams and ideals - well, you might as well stop altogether.

  • Fear is a disease that eats away at logic and makes man inhuman.

  • A singer starts by having his instrument as a gift from God... When you have been given something in a moment of grace, it is sacrilegious to be greedy.

  • Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.

  • None of us is responsible for the complexion of his skin. This fact of nature offers no clue to the character or quality of the person underneath.
