It's like Duke Ellington said, there are only two kinds of music - good and bad. And you can tell when something is good.
Ray Charles
Image
I don't think any of us really knows why we're here. But I think we're supposed to believe we're here for a purpose.
Ray Charles
Image
Sighted people, you gotta deal with them.
Ray Charles
Image
I never said I was a genius. I never said I was a cornerstone. I've never said I'm a legend in my own time. You never heard me say nothing like that.
Ray Charles
Image
Hit the road Jack, don'tcha come back no more, no more, no more, no more. Hit the road Jack, don'tcha come back no more.
Ray Charles
Image
I don't sing a song unless I feel it. The song don't tug at my heart, I pass on it. I have to believe in what I'm doing.
Ray Charles
Image
The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.
Ray Charles
Image
I cant retire from music any more than I can retire from my liver. Youd have to remove the music from me surgically—like you were taking out my appendix.
Ray Charles
Image
I can't help what I sound like. What I sound like is what i am. You know? I cannot be anything other that what I am.
Ray Charles
Image
Before I begin, let me say right here and now that I'm a country boy. And, man, I mean the real backwoods! That's at the start of the start of the thing, and that's at the heart of the thing.
Ray Charles
Image
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay, a big stack of bills that gets bigger each day.
Ray Charles
Image
I heard someone say that all black people got rhythm. Bullshit.
Ray Charles
Image
There's nothing written in the Bible, Old or New testament, that says, 'If you believe in Me, you ain't going to have no troubles.'
Ray Charles
Image
Dreams, if they're any good, are always a little bit crazy.
Ray Charles
Image
I'm not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don't have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.

The role of the designer is basically that of a good host, anticipating the needs of the guest.
Ray Charles
Image
Other arms reach out to me, Other eyes smile tenderly, Still in peaceful dreams I see, The road leads back to you.
Ray Charles
Image
I'm a firm believer in God himself, but that's as far as I can go. I'm not any denomination. I'm not Catholic or Presbyterian or Baptist or Methodist or Jewish or Muslim. I'm none of those things. And I'm sure that's just fine with God.

Sometimes my dreams are so deep that I dream that I'm dreaming.

The important thing is to feel your music, really feel it and believe it.
