Additional quotes by Nina Simone

"You've got to learn to leave the table
When love's no longer being served".

Greed has driven the world crazy. And I think I'm lucky that I have a place over here that I can call home.

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart/Remove all the bars that keep us apart/I wish you could know what it means to be me/Then you'd see and agree/That everyone should be free/But, oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good/Oh, Lord, please, don't let me be misunderstood
