I Believe If The White And Colored

I Have Walked Into The Palaces Of Kings And Queens And Into The Houses Of Presidents. And Much More. But I Could Not Walk Into A Hotel In America And Get A Cup Of Coffee, And That Made Me Mad.

All My Life, I Have Maintained That The People Of The World Can Learn To Live Together In Peace If They Are Not Brought Up In Prejudice.

I Love Performing. I Shall Perform Until The Day I Die.

Oh, You Young People Act Like Old Men. You Have No Fun.

One Day I Realized I Was Living In A Country Where I Was Afraid To Be Black. It Was Only A Country For White People. Not Black. So I Left. I Had Been Suffocating In The United States... A Lot Of Us Left, Not Because We Wanted To Leave, But Because We Couldn't Stand It Anymore... I Felt Liberated In Paris.
