Josephine Baker

You must get an education. You must go to school, and you must learn to protect yourself. And you must learn to protect yourself with the pen, and not the gun.

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.

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

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favourite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practising comedy routines.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
