NOTE: This is a speculative typing, as Stevie Wonder is blind and his eye toggling patterns can't be tracked.

Wonder: "Blind don't mean you can't, you know, listen."

Wonder: "What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry, and more unity, peace, and understanding. Period."

Wonder: "Time is long but life is short."

Wonder: "When I was a child, kids used to make fun of me because I was blind. But I just became more curious, 'How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?' That's what mattered to me."

Wonder: "Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there."

Wonder: "Do you know, it's funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage."

Wonder: "God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done."

Wonder: "I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it."

Wonder: "I'm still experimenting."

Wonder: "Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it."

Wonder: "You can't base your life on other people's expectations."

Wonder: "I can't say that I'm always writing in my head but I do spend a lot of time in my head writing or coming up with ideas. And what I do usually is write the music and melody and then, you know, maybe the basic idea. But when I feel that I don't have a song or just say, God, please give me another song. And I just am quiet and it happens."

Wonder: "I listen a lot to rap, and I'm inspired to take it, to use it in another way, to get the message across."

Wonder: "Clearly, love is love, between a man and a woman, a woman and a man, a woman and a woman and a man and a man."

Wonder: "I want to take all the pain that I feel and celebrate and turn it around."

Wonder: "I used to say that if something happened to my mother, I wanted to die with her. That's because I loved her so much. I want to live so I can carry out the essence of what she has shown me: kindness and goodness."

Wonder: "Let us come together before we're annihilated."

Wonder: "Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!"
