🎙️ Nina Simone 

“I’ll tell you what freedom is to me. No fear.”
“This is the world you have made yourself, now you have to live in it.”
“When I say poet, it’s an arbitrary word. It’s a word I use because I don’t like the word artist. … A poet does … the recreation of experience.”
“Life is not a straight line; it’s a jazz improvisation. You adjust, you bend, you find the rhythm, and you keep going.”
“Anything human can be felt through music, which means that there is no limit to the creating that can be done with music.”
 

🎤 Amy Winehouse 

“If you don’t throw yourself into something, you’ll never know what you could have had.”
“I believe in fate and I believe that things happen for a reason… I believe in karma very much though.”
“Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.”
“At the end of the day, I don’t have to answer to you, or my ex, or … a man in a suit from the record company. I have to answer to myself.”
“I don’t care what people think about me. Never did, never will. Life is too short to be worrying about that shit.”
