So when we spend all of our time trying to separate that which is already joined, it's a waste of time.

The people are not coming because of me. They didn't come before me. It's because of a lack of education and understanding, so it makes me more motivated. It's like my mother said about having an artistic child - she learned more from him and he gets more attention and more of the love, not less.

When I say "our," I definitely mean all of America. It's not less pertinent for you because it comes from a Black person, just like a great achievement by an Anglo American is less important.

We looked up to our father. He still is much greater than us.

Some stances are just conducive to swinging. If I stand up straight for too long it's harder to swing. Plus my feet hurt.

If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying.

You need a team. You need people to push you. You need opponents.
