My mother was the most amazing person. She taught me to be kind to other women. She believed in family. She was with my father from the first day they met. All that I am, she taught me.

So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.

I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.

I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.

If you apologize because you are afraid, then you are a child not a man.

A person doesn't have to change who he is to become better.

I've learned that I must find positive outlets for anger or it will destroy me. There is a certain anger: it reaches such intensity that to express it fully would require homicidal rage--self destructive, destroy the world rage--and its flame burns because the world is so unjust. I have to try to find a way to channel that anger to the positive, and the highest positive is forgiveness.
