More quotes by Lena Horne

Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.

The New Bajan (1990)

I made a promise to myself to be kinder to other people.

"Always be smarter than the people who hire you.“

I am not alone. I am free. I no longer have to be a credit, I don't have to be a symbol to anybody, I don't have to be a first to anybody. I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else.

Lena Horne (1997)
