King Quotes

I really do love bluesy-jazzy music, so I love Etta James, B.B. King and Billie Holiday. I love that they have soul in their voices - I think that’s something important is having Picture Quote #1

It’s not like I’m the first man ever to do this, y’know? You gotta go back to Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Sammy Davis Jr. Those are people who’ve done music well and movies well, and y’know, Frank Sinatra and Elvis and all these dudes have made the transition. I don’t know about Elvis, ‘bout doin’ ‘em good, y’know? It’s nothin’ new Picture Quote #1

Why do you eat your own heart? Because, O King, it is bitter, and because it is my heart Picture Quote #1

Martin Luther King was a misguided leader. He worked to be recognized as the leader of black America, when what black America needs isn’t a leader - it is education. Giving speeches and marching - that’s not the concept that brings about real freedom, equality and justice Picture Quote #1

What Martin Luther King is doing is disarming the black people of America of their God-given right and of their natural right Picture Quote #1

That’s where Dr. [Martin Luther] King is mixed up. His goals should be the solution of the problem of the black man in America Picture Quote #1

I think this is what people misunderstand about Martin Luther King saying to love your enemies. They think he was just using this silly little phrase, but what he meant was that as Black Americans we need to let our anger go, because holding on to it we hold ourselves down. We oppress ourselves by holding on to anger Picture Quote #1

In my Philly neighborhood, black and white kids hung together without even thinking about it. The spirit of Martin Luther King was alive and well Picture Quote #1

I think hip-hop has definitely brought the black experience to white kids more than the civil rights movement did and more than any teacher’s well-intentioned lecture on Martin Luther King did Picture Quote #1

I’m the king of the 20th century. I’m the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family Picture Quote #1

Martin Luther King would celebrate the symbolic status (of having a black president), but he would examine what the real substance was. And if he saw that poor and working people were not at the center of public policy, he would be deeply, deeply upset Picture Quote #1

There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other’s past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies Picture Quote #1

It is a strange world, a sad world, a world full of miseries, and woes, and troubles; and yet when King Laugh come he make them all dance to the tune he play. Bleeding hearts, and dry bones of the churchyard, and tears that burn as they fall -- all dance together to the music that he make with that smileless mouth of him Picture Quote #1

I’m the Ali of today. I’m the Marvin Gaye of today. I’m the Bob Marley of today. I’m the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realise that now Picture Quote #1

We don’t really know who killed Martin Luther King. We don’t really know who killed Bobby Kennedy. We don’t really know who killed John Kennedy. We don’t really know who killed Tupac Shakur Picture Quote #1

I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king Picture Quote #1

I read every book there was on jazz, about the original players - King Oliver, Buddy Bolden and all those groups. At one time I was fairly well schooled in that... I could tell you who played where and when, historically, way before my time Picture Quote #1

I was so inspired by Dr. King that in 1956, with some of my brothers and sisters and first cousins - I was only 16 years old - we went down to the public library trying to check out some books, and we were told by the librarian that the library was for whites only and not for colors. It was a public library Picture Quote #1

I actually love Stephen King’s writing. I mean, we, actually, at Castle Rock, we’ve made seven movies out of Stephen King books Picture Quote #1

Karen Russell learned to think from her father, someone Peter Gammons knows well, Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell, who used his prominence to support Martin Luther King Jr., to support the civil rights movement, and other important work, including work in Africa throughout his career. And Bill Russell is still at it Picture Quote #1

I want to make movies just like King Kong. You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it’s everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with Picture Quote #1

At that moment his soul is fuller of the tomb and him who lies there than of the altar and Him of whom it speaks. Such stages have to be gone through, I believe, by all young and brave souls, who must win their way through hero-worship to the worship of Him who is the King and Lord of heroes Picture Quote #1

Once I was a couple. I was my own king and queen with cheese and bread and rosÃƒÂ© on the rocks of Rockport Picture Quote #1

I could probably live in Bali the rest of my life and completely live in the sticks and have a f - king moped and make a record every couple of years and not step in public and break even like I do anyway. That’s really tempting Picture Quote #1

The year 1999, seventh month, from the sky will come a great King of Terror. To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols, before and after Mars to reign by good luck Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been drawn to the Edwardian period in England. To me, it seems like such a fascinating time, when the British Empire was at the height of its powers and the strict mores of the Victorian age were dissipating into the decadence of King Edward’s reign Picture Quote #1

Radio was used powerfully by Josef Goebbels to disseminate Nazi propaganda, and just as powerfully by King George VI to inspire the British people to fight invasion Picture Quote #1

If you look at the British royal family and take away the scandals and the goofy stuff that’s going on, people love to have this king to look up to - the royals are like celebrities Picture Quote #1

I think there was a bit of brotherly love, but I think everything has a motive when you’re king. It’s all about maintaining that power - securing that power - and I think Edward was very skillful at doing that. I think he was a great king. Opinions are split, if you look at what he’s done and written about him Picture Quote #1

I want to be a traditional king first and foremost, building on the tradition of my predecessors standing for continuity and stability in this country, but also a 21st-century king who can unite, represent and encourage society Picture Quote #1
