"I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot tell. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward."
"I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man."
