“I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they’re your parents. Because, if you’re the kind of person who senses there’s something out there for you beyond whatever it is you’re expected to do—if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary—you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you’re not extraordinary. Instead, you will probably become as ordinary as they expect you to be.”

The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.”

“You can pray until you faint, but unless you get up and try to do something, God is not going to put it in your lap.”
