"The silence between words is as important as the words themselves; it is where the unsaid resides."

A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don't have an advantage or this and that... I've said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage.

That there are things in this world not carved out of gray stone. That there s a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.
