    Things Nina Simone doesn’t have - home, shoes, money, class, skirts, sweaters, bed, bed, mind, mother, culture, friends, schooling, name, love, ticket, token or God.

    Things she does have - hair, head, brains, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, smile, tongue, chin, neck, boobies, heart, soul, back, sex, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes, liver, blood, life, lives, headaches, toothaches, bad times and freedom.

  7. In 1968, an interviewer for New York public television asked the singer and pianist Nina Simone what freedom meant to her. "It's just a feeling," she replied, seemingly flustered by the question. Then, suddenly, an answer occurred to her. "I'll tell you what freedom is to me: no fear. I mean really, no fear!"
