“If you are a white person who would like to treat black people as equals in every way - who would like to have a set of associations with blacks that are as positive as those that you have with whites - it requires more than a simple commitment to equality. It requires that you change your life so that you are exposed to minorities on a regular basis and become comfortable with them and familiar with the best of their culture, so that when you want to meet, hire, date, or talk to a member of a minority, you aren't betrayed by your hesitation and discomfort.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

“We fear passion and laugh at too much love and those who love too much. And still we long to feel.”

“Fools stay in love. I am a fool.”
