I made wine from the lilac tree/Put my heart in its recipe/It makes me see what I want to see/And be what I want to be
Nina Simone
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
There are all kinds of things that can be done. You can change rhythms, you can change chords, you can change whole concepts. But it will only work, on a record or in a performance, if you can make the people buy it.
Nina Simone
I would like a man now who is rich, and who can give me a boat - a sailboat. I want to own it and let him pay for it. My first love is the sea and water, not music. Music is second.

Nina Simone

Nina Simone
You don't have to live next to me / Just give me my equality.
Nina Simone

Nina Simone
This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live in it.
Nina Simone
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
Desegregation is a joke.
Nina Simone
I don't like to go to strange places.
