B. B. King
I don't think it's meant for man to know everything at once.
B. B. King
The crowds treat me like my last name. When I go onstage people usually stand up, I never ask them to, but they do. They stand up and they don't know how much I appreciate it.
B. B. King
No one can take it away from you.
B. B. King
Albert King wasn't my brother in blood, but he sure was my brother in Blues
B. B. King
I wanted to connect my guitar to human emotions.
B. B. King
I can't afford no liquor, all I can buy is beer and wine.

B. B. King
