To be compared to Jackie Robinson is an enormous compliment, but I don't think it's necessarily deserved.

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

I think the way I want to think. I live the way I want to live.

Okay listen, you think I'm so inconsequential? Then try this on for size. All those who see unworthiness when they look at me and are given thereby to denying me value - to you I say, I'm not talking about being AS GOOD as you. I hereby declare myself BETTER than you.

Accept that environment compromises values far more than values do their number on environment.

I find myself, at this time in my life, no less challenged, no less plagued, no less intrigued by what I still don't know.

I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.
