I beg young people to travel.

It's one thing to buy a copy of 'Atlas Shrugged.' You actually have to read it to get anything out of it.

Sleep is for squares.

Cynicism is only intellectual sloth.

You might as well enjoy the day - you never know when and how painfully it could all end.

I think that one of the hardest things in the world to be is a black male. I mean everyone hates your guts. White men are afraid of you. White women are afraid of you. The cops hate you. The government wants you dead. Your own people want to shoot you for what you got. You just can't get over it. And even if you are able to get over it you're forced to do it on the white guy's terms.

All I have is me. Over-worked, under-appreciated, middle-aged, and shriveled up.
