"Racism is not dead. Definitely, there are these biases."

-- John H. McWhorter

“Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.”
“My experiences have taught me that things rarely improve with a simple change of scenery.”
“Letting go a little brings a little peace. Letting go a lot brings a lot of peace. Letting go completely brings complete peace.”
“Well, I'm somebody who is just living ...living life, and if I get frustrated by something, then I like to try to put it right.”
“I have always been interested in how you can depict suffering without being heavy-handed.”
“Rhyme written in graffiti xeroxed on blueprints, students influenced are now a nuisance.”
“Poets, we know, are terribly sensitive people, and in my observation one of the things they are most sensitive about is money.”
“The best ambassador is a warship.”
