Famous quotes by Lena Horne:

"I don't think I can carry it, but I am absolutely thrilled to be receiving this award."

"It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it."

"You have to be taught to be second class; you're not born that way."

"It's ill-becoming for an old broad to sing about how bad she wants it. But occasionally we do."

"Always be smarter than the people who hire you."

"It's so nice to get flowers while you can still smell the fragrance"

"Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death."

"I'm not alone, I'm free. I no longer have to be a credit, I don't have to be a symbol to anybody; I don't have to be a first to anybody."

"I made a promise to myself to be kinder to other people."

"As much as I try, when I open my mouth, Lena comes out, And I get so mad."

"I remember the day tDr. King died. I wasn't angry at the beginning. It was like something very personal in my life had been touched and finished."

"It's so nice to get flowers while you can still smell the fragrance."

"I told them I belong to the same organizations and clubs Mrs. Roosevelt belongs to, but with a few brave exceptions, I was still unable to do films or television for the next seven years."

"I was lucky, as many of my generation was, in having a man like Dr. King in our lives. He came at a time that we needed to take a long look at each other and see how similar we were."

"Every color I can think of and nationality, we were all touched by Dr. King because he made us like each other and respect each other."

"Malcolm X raised my consciousness about myself and my people and other people more than any person I know. I knew him before he became Malcolm X."

"I want to sing like Aretha Franklin. Before her I wanted the technical ability of Ella Fitzgerald."

"I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else."

"My identity is very clear to me now, I am a black woman."
