- Love is a special word, and I use it only when I mean it. You say the word too much and it becomes cheap. - Ray Charles, Brother Ray, 1978
- I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me, like food or water. - Ray Charles, 1978
- Affluence separates people. Poverty knits 'em together. You got some sugar and I don't; I borrow some of yours. Next month you might not have any flour; well, I'll give you some of mine. - Ray Charles, 1978
- My music had roots which I'd dug up from my own childhood, musical roots buried in the darkest soil. - Ray Charles, 1978
- Impossibilities are merely things of which we have not learned, or which we do not wish to happen. - Charles W. Chesnutt, 1901
- The workings of the human heart are the profoundest mystery of the universe. One moment they make us despair of our kind, and the next we see in them the reflection of the divine image. - Charles W. Chesnutt, 1901
