More quotes by Nina Simone
It's logical that people from bad times will reflect their feelings in their communication. Music is part of the communication. If you lived it, you can do it.
Nina Simone
I think the rich will eventually have to cave in too, because the economic situation around the world is not gonna tolerate the United States being on top forever.
Nina Simone
Since I was three I've been playing the piano. I've been onstage.
Nina Simone
It's a good time for black people to be alive.
Nina Simone
I know I'm different, but I don't think about it.
Nina Simone
You can't help it. An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.
Nina Simone
Birds flying high you know how I feel Sun in the sky you know how I feel Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel And this old world is a new world And a bold world For me And I'm feeling good I'm feeling good
Nina Simone
Music has been a burden and a joy for as long as I can remember.
Nina Simone
I feel what they feel. And people who listen to me know that, and it makes them feel like they're not alone.
Nina Simone
I believe the time will come when the whole definition of pop music will change. It will get to the point where a song will not be a good song until it has a high level of creativity in writing and performance. In other words, in order to be popular, songs will have to meet these high standards.
Nina Simone
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
I was not reluctant to become a singer. Singing has been an activity I've done my whole life, without thought.
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
Anything human can be felt through music, which means that there is no limit to the creating that can be done with music. You can take the same phrase from any song and cut it up so many different ways - it's infinite. It's like God... you know?
Nina Simone
I don't like to go to strange places. I was in Italy for about five hours on my way to Africa.
Nina Simone
I try to swim every damn day I can, and I've learned to scuba dive and snorkel.
Nina Simone
This may be a dream, but I'll say it anyway: I was supposed to be married last year, and I bought a gown. When I meet Nelson Mandela, I shall put on this gown and have the train of it removed and put aside, and kiss the ground that he walks on and then kiss his feet.
Nina Simone
I love to travel to hear different kinds of music.
Nina Simone
I'm a nut for Bach as a composer.
Nina Simone
Theory and harmony broadened my mind in music. I know what music is made of.
Nina Simone
