Life is a hurdle and you'll never clear it. Death is the end of the ride and you fear it.

Cynicism is only intellectual sloth.

I continually remind myself to live by a code. It's very important to me. I've got a bad temper.

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

Don’t think about it. Do it. Don’t talk about it. Do it.

Half of life is up - the other half is dealing with it.

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.
