James Brown

I was reading an article about James Brown today in Rolling Stone and it reminded me of some cool quotes I saw in the program for one of his memorial services.
They kind of fit with the whole marathon running theme so I figured I'd post them here:

"I live as long as I can and die when I can't help it..."
"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees."

And my favorite:

I hope you live 200 years and I live 200 years minus one day so I don't know that beautiful people like you have passed away..."
