Col. Robinson: Tell Major Barton that the attack must proceed. Frank Dunne: Sir, I don't think you've got the picture. They are being cut down before they can get five yards. [hits the phone] Col. Robinson: Bloody line! I don't care! Our marker flags...
Ray Charles: I hear like you see. Like that hummingbird outside the window, for instance. Della Bea Robinson: [astonished] I can't hear her. Ray Charles: You have to listen. Della Bea Robinson: [closes her eyes, hears the hummingbird] Yes! Ray Charle...
I used to tell Jackie (Robinson) sometimes when they were throwing at him, 'Jackie, they aren't throwing at you because you are black. They are throwing at you because they don't like you.
