Ruby Dee - biography

“The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity.”

“God, make me so uncomfortable that I will do the very thing I fear.”

“OK, boss, I don’t mind shuffling, but I won’t scratch my head.”

“The greatest gift is not being afraid to question.”
