My top quotes by Sidney Poitier born Feb 20, 1927
- Almost all the job opportunities were reflective of the stereotypical perception of blacks that had infected the whole consciousness of the country.
- But my dad also was a remarkable man, a good person, a principled individual, a man of integrity.
- History passes the final judgment.
- I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.
- I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.
- I wanted to look at them because I feel, internally, that I am an ordinary person who has had an extraordinary life.
- I was the only Black person on the set. It was unusual for me to be in a circumstance in which every move I made was tantamount to representation of 18 million people.
- Mine was an easy ride compared to Jackie Robinson's.
- To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.
- We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loved one, perfection.
