Trevor Noah
“It taught me that it is easier to be an insider as an outsider than to be an outsider as an insider. If a white guy chooses to immerse himself in hip-hop culture and only hang out with black people, black people will say, “Cool, white guy. Do what you need to do.” If a black guy chooses to button up his blackness to live among white people and play lots of golf, white people will say, “Fine. I like Brian. He’s safe.” But try being a black person who immerses himself in white culture while still living in the black community. Try being a white person who adopts the trappings of black culture while still living in the white community.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

John E. Douglas
“So much of what a law enforcement officer does is difficult to share with anyone, even a spouse. When you spend your days looking at dead and mutilated bodies, particularly when they're children, it's not the kind of thing you want to bring home with you. You can't say over the dinner table, 'I had a fascinating lust murder today. Let me tell you about it." That's why you so often see cops drawn to nurses and vice versa—people who can relate in some way to each other's work.”
John E. Douglas, Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit

“You may never know what type of person someone is unless they are given opportunities to violate moral or ethical codes.”

“Suckers try to win arguments, nonsuckers try to win.”
