Todays Quotes...

I did it to myself. It wasn't society... it wasn't a pusher, it wasn't being blind or being black or being poor. It was all my doing.
Ray Charles

I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't been able to hear.
Ray Charles

Learning to read music in Braille and play by ear helped me develop a damn good memory.
Ray Charles

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

Music's been around a long time, and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record, that's the frosting on the cake, but music's the main meal.
Ray Charles

My version of "Georgia" became the state song of Georgia. That was a big thing for me, man. It really touched me. Here is a state that used to lynch people like me suddenly declaring my version of a song as its state song. That is touching.
Ray Charles

What is a soul? It's like electricity - we don't really know what it is, but it's a force that can light a room.
Ray Charles

The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.
Ray Charles
