Zitate und Sprüche von Alicia Keys

It's hard to say goodbye to yesterday
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain

Earlier today, Los Angeles, America, and the whole wide world lost a hero. And we're literally standing here heartbroken in the house that Kobe Bryant built.

I lived with my mom in a really small apartment. My bedroom was like in the living room. That's why I still love to sleep on couches now.

I feel like B sides are always better, no matter whose record it is.

But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.

A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It's a very moody key, and also 'A' is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.

And I love kick boxing. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a lot of confidence when you can kick somebody in the head.

I'm the cofounder of Keep a Child Alive. We provide medicine for families affected by HIV and AIDS in places like Africa and India.

No wonder the city never sleeps, it's too busy trying to get laid.

There are eight million people in this city. And those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders.

If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York

Manhattan, for millions of our forefathers, the gateway to hope, opportunity and happiness beyond their wildest dreams. Today, that hope is still alive, it's called "The First Date". On Saturday nights, every restaurant in Lower Manhattan resembles its own little Ellis Island.

I want to wake up in that city
That doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap

In a city that moves so fast, you get the Sunday paper on Saturday - how did any of us know how much time we had left?

We are New Yorkers. Proud citizens of the greatest city on earth. Thinking big isn't new to us. It is the very foundation of who we are.

Regardless of our differences, this was still New York. A melting pot crammed onto an island, then pushed into a subway car with a rat eating pizza. You're not left or right. You're a New f*cking Yorker and we're in this together.

Do you know how bad that coffee has to be to to be considered a health risk in New York? This is the same city where pizza gets delivered by a rat!

I don't wanna f*ck it up because one of us didn't prepare for the slim possibility of New York City traffic!

I remember Hell's Kitchen when you couldn't walk west of Ninth Avenue without getting knifed. Now it's Chelsea with better gays.

Most people come to New York to be discovered. The rest of us come here to hide.

It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!

The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.

I love New York; I love the city. It's impossible. It's a theme park of a city.

Being a single girl in New York... it's what you should be doing in your twenties!

People say New Yorkers can't get along. Not true. I saw two New Yorkers, complete strangers, sharing a cab. One guy took the tires and the radio; the other guy took the engine.

Walk until the darkness is a memory, and you become the sun on the next traveler's horizon.

There's a lot of players who, especially today, do all of these fancy ball handling drills and work on using a million different moves, none of which they'll be able to actually do in a game. It was refreshing to watch Sabrina play, who just thought the game at a different level.

There's no debate. Pau, when he retires, he will have his number in the rafters next to mine.

If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.

I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

Really? It's appropriate that you ask that question from down there!

If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will.

AIDS is an absolutely tragic disease. The argument about AIDS being some kind of divine retribution is crap.

The AIDS is a disease that is hard to talk about.

The discovery of HIV in 1983 and the proof that it was the cause of AIDS in 1984 were the first major scientific breakthroughs that provided a specific target for blood-screening tests and opened the doorway to the development of antiretroviral medications.

Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS.

You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

Mr. President, Ukraine did not "start" this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.
