Quote

My love is like the wind and wild is the wind. Give me more than one caress, satisfy my hungriness. Let the wind blow through your heart for wild is the wind.

What is love but a prelude to sorrow...with heartache ahead for your goal.
Nina Simone
Image
I had spent many years pursuing excellence, because that is what classical music is all about... Now it was dedicated to freedom, and that was far more important.
Nina Simone
Image
I love the classics but there are many new ideas to be made into reality. I'd rather be concerned with my own thing. There are many masters of classical piano so I'll leave it to them.
Nina Simone
Image
I was not reluctant to become a singer. Singing has been an activity I've done my whole life, without thought.
Nina Simone
Image
The Beatles are lucky, very lucky. But what has happened to them has nothing to do with them, in a sense. They came along at the right time. Attention was focused on them. They've had the chance to grow in almost any direction they wanted. Very lucky. They are not exceptionally talented.
Nina Simone
Image
You don't have to live next to me / Just give me my equality.
Nina Simone
Image
I believe in racial memory too. I'm sure I've got ancient African blood in me that has something to do with what I am.
Nina Simone
Image
I'm sorry that I did not become the world's first black classic pianist. I think I would have been happier.
Nina Simone
Image
This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live in it.
Nina Simone
Image
I can't stand loud guitars that make me deaf.
Nina Simone
Image
Jazz is not just music, it's a way of life, it's a way of being, a way of thinking.
Nina Simone
Image
When I was studying... there weren't any black concert pianists. My choices were intuitive, and I had the technique to do it. People have heard my music and heard the classic in it, so I have become known as a black classical pianist.
Nina Simone
Image
I'm a nut for Bach as a composer.
Nina Simone
Image
You can't be different if you look at it. Being gifted is different. I had that in my piano playing. I'm very thankful for that. I'm very aware of that. The style and what I fed is just me. I never worked at it. It just happened.
Nina Simone
Image
I don't like to go to strange places.
Nina Simone
Image
I know I'm different, but I don't think about it.
Nina Simone
Image
I think if I were over there in America, protest music would be more important. But I'm not going.
Nina Simone
Image
I look forward to doing my own show, not someone else's. That's always been my dream.
Nina Simone
Image
It is difficult to retain your standards with the pressure of trying to make money, which always has its rules...It's hard to walk the tightrope of doing what you think is your best and making money at it.
Nina Simone
Image
That's a very high goal to have, study eight hours a day to be a concert pianist.
