Additional quotes by Josephine Baker

"...It looked very different from the Statue of Liberty, but what did that matter? What was the good of having the statue without the liberty, the freedom to go where one chose if one was held back by one's color? No, I preferred the Eiffel Tower, which made no promises."
~ Josephine Baker, once she had seen the Eiffel Tower

A violinist had a violin, a painter his palette. All I had was myself. I was the instrument that I must care for.
