"I really do hate to sing."

-- Lena Horne

“If you don't have an effective teacher in front of the classroom, you won't change the trajectory for students.”
“I love to sing with great singers.”
“I don't listen to hard rock or heavy metal. I suppose I've always been influenced by folk music, I'm a big Bob Dylan fan.”
“People have been telling me I'm a failure and that I'm doing it all wrong for 20 years now. Never trust anybody when they tell you how your story goes. You know your story. You write your own story.”
“There'll be a little metal fleck in the football, so you can tell for sure whether the guy with the ball got over the goal line or was pushed back.”
“It is unfair for our hospitals to bear a hugely disproportionate burden for mandated emergency health treatment for illegal aliens.”
“Grant us a common faith that we shall know bread and peace-that we shall know justice and righteousness, freedom and security, an equal opportunity and an equal chance to do our best not only in our own lands, but throughout the world. And in that faith let us march toward the clean world our hands can make.”
“It all means more than I can tell you. So you must not judge what I know by what I find words for.”
