More quotes by Odetta
You’re walking down life’s road, society’s foot is on your throat, every which way you turn you can’t get from under that foot. And you reach a fork in the road and you can either lie down and die, or insist upon your life.
Odetta

Odetta
No one can dub you with dignity. That's yours to claim.
Odetta
If your neighbor looks at you like they don't enjoy the key you're singing in, look right back, bless them, and keep on singing.
Odetta
