All my life, I have maintained that the people of the world can learn to live together in peace if they are not brought up in prejudice.

I have never really been a great artist. I have been a human being that has loved art, which is not the same thing. But I have loved and believed in art and the idea of universal brotherhood so much, that I have put everything I have into them, and I have been blessed.

I'm not intimidated by anyone. Everyone is made with two arms, two legs, a stomach and a head. Just think about that.

Beautiful? It's all a question of luck. I was born with good legs. As for the rest... beautiful, no. Amusing, yes.

God dislikes evil, and no happiness can be built on hate. Love one another as brothers.

I believe if the white and colored people could get together and be let alone, they would understand each other and consequently love each other.

Sex was a pleasurable form of exercise, like dancing.
