More quotes by Sidney Poitier
I cannot be understood in three minutes.
Sidney Poitier
I was fortunate enough to have been raised to a certain point before I got into the race thing. I had other views of what a human is, so I was never able to see racism as the big question. Racism was horrendous, but there were other aspects to life.
Sidney Poitier
I know how easy it is for one to stay well within moral, ethical, and legal bounds through the skillful use of words - and to thereby spin, sidestep, circumvent, or bend a truth completely out of shape. To that extent, we are all liars on numerous occasions.
Sidney Poitier
Forgiveness works two ways, in most instances. People have to forgive themselves too. The powerful have to forgive themselves for their behavior. That should be a sacred process.
Sidney Poitier
So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.
Sidney Poitier
If you are anxious about death, then you don't have a sense of the oneness of things - you feel that after death, you will be no more.
Sidney Poitier
Generally, I tend to despise human behavior rather than human creatures.
Sidney Poitier
To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.
Sidney Poitier
We're all imperfect, and life is simply a perpetual, unending struggle against those imperfections.
Sidney Poitier
I had two roles for which I compromised.
Sidney Poitier
We suffer pain, we hang tight to hope, we nurture expectations, we are plagued occasionally by fears, we are haunted by defeats and unrealized hopes . . . The hoplessness of which I speak is not limited.
Sidney Poitier
If the image one holds of one's self contains elements that don't square with reality, one is best advised to let go of them, however difficult that may be.
Sidney Poitier
I wouldn't change a single thing, because one change alters every moment that follows it.
Sidney Poitier
I have always been a learner because I knew nothing.
Sidney Poitier
I was a gift to my mother. She was a remarkable person. God or nature, or whatever those forces are, smiled on her, then passed me the best of her.
Sidney Poitier
I'd seen my father. He was a poor man, and I watched him do astonishing things.
Sidney Poitier
I want my great-granddaughter to have a fairly good understanding of the world in which I lived for 81 years and also the world before I came into it - all the way back a hundred thousand years, to the beginning of our species.
Sidney Poitier
As a man, I've been representative of the values I hold dear. And the values I hold dear are carryovers from the lives of my parents.
Sidney Poitier
So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.
Sidney Poitier
Every new fashion is a form of rebellion.
Sidney Poitier
