“Our struggle has inspired oppressed people the world over, because if former slaves can make the most powerful nation face itself, there's a chance for everyone else. In a twist, our rage becomes hope for others.”

“Anger is what makes our struggle visible, and our struggle is what exposes the hypocrisy of a nation that fashions itself a moral leader. To rise against the narrative and expose the lie gives opportunity to those whose identity depends on the lie to question and, hopefully, change.”
― Mychal Denzel Smith, Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching: A Young Black Man's Education

“I wasn't popular, but I wasn't an outcast. I was everywhere with everybody, and at the same time I was all by myself.”

“But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to.”
― Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
