“Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what’s more than enough.” -Billie Holiday

“I just plain decided one day I wasn’t going to do anything or say anything unless I meant it. Not, ‘Please, sir.’ Not, ‘Thank you, Ma’am.’ Nothing; unless I mean it. You have to be poor and Black to know how many times you can get knocked in the head just for trying to do something as simple as that.” -Billie Holiday
