The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.
No matter how old you are, if a little kid hands you a toy phone. . . you answer it.

Things like racism are institutionalized. You might not know any bigots. You feel like "well I don't hate black people so I'm not a racist," but you benefit from racism. Just by the merit, the color of your skin. The opportunities that you have, you're privileged in ways that you might not even realize because you haven't been deprived of certain things. We need to talk about these things in order for them to change.

My hearth is broken.
I never competed against athletes. I competed against perfection.
Why then should words challenge Eternity, When greatest men, and greatest actions die? Use may revive the obsoletest words, And banish those that now are most in vogue; Use is the judge, the law, and rule of speech.
