RajneeshI think that by now, in the very beginning when I first joined the show, General Landry was like a new kid in school.

When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

Some of the monsters were people we knew. People we thought we could trust.

Tory BurchToo often we bask in our comfortable complacency and rationalize that the ravages of war, economic disaster, famine, and earth quake cannot happen here.

Walter IsaacsonI want everybody to feel comfortable with vibing with Drake. I don't want to limit my music to people based on their race and/or age.
DrakeDemocracy appears to me potentially a higher form of political organization than any kind of dictatorship. But if it turns out that in America, which could afford a decent living for everyone, the comfortable majority is willing to condone the misery and abuse of a minority for an indefinite period, the exploitation by the majority becomes as repugnant as exploitation by an oligarchy, and democracy loses half its supposed superiority.
