Nat King Cole

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

I may be helping to bring harmony between people through my music.

For years the trio did nothing but play for musicians and other hip people. We starved.

Only time, education and plenty of good schooling will make anti-segregation work.

Oh, my darling, it’s incredible, that someone so unforgettable should think I am unforgettable, too.

The people who know nothing about music are the ones always talking about it.

Didn’t want y’all to call me fat, so I got liposuction. And they gave me opioids.

I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormentor.

I’m also honored to have the greatest temperament that anybody has.

I’m fragile just washed upon the shore.

You are beautiful not because you are better than others, but because there is only you who can smile like that.

Everyone should have enough money to get plastic surgery

Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.

Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

Please stop debating about whether or not I aged well. Unfortunately it hurts all 3 of my feelings…

If one cannot get along without a mirror, even in shaving oneself, how can one reconstruct oneself or one’s life, without seeing oneself in the mirror of literature?

The first thing to do is be happy with yourself and appreciate your body-only then should you try to change things about yourself.

Madame, you must be gay; only thus can life be endured. I speak from experience for I have had to endure much, and have only been able to endure it because I have always laughed whenever I had the chance.

For a long time I hated my body, because I was constantly suffering. But now I look at it like an old Mercedes with chrome bumpers. It costs a fortune to repair, it breaks down all the time, you can only use it once a week, the seat leather is starting to crack – but nonetheless it’s mine.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks, as long as you’re happy.

It doesn’t have to take over your life, it doesn’t have to define you as a person, it’s just important that you ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness.
