Marian Anderson Quotes


An African-American contralto and one of the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century.
Marian Anderson (February 27, 1897 – April 8, 1993) was an African-American contralto and one of the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century. Music critic Alan Blyth said "Her voice was a rich, vibrant contralto of intrinsic beauty." Most of her singing career was spent performing in concert and recital in major music venues and with major orchestras throughout the United States and Europe between 1925 and 1965. Although she was offered contracts to perform roles with many important European opera companies, Anderson declined all of these, preferring to perform in concert and recital only. She did, however, perform opera arias within her concerts and recitals.

Here are some famous quotes by Marian Anderson.

Prayer begins where human capacity ends.

[MysteRy]

As long as you keep a person down some part of you has to be down there to hold him down so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.
