I'm very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That's my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it's not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.
我为自己是黑人感到非常自豪,但黑人并不是我的全部。那是我的文化历史背景,我的基因构成,但它不是我全部的身份,也不是我回答每个问题的基础。
世界是生者的地方,死者在其中没有位置。死者什么都不是。他们甚至不是记忆。他们被遗忘了。而生者,也将被遗忘。

使生命成为可能的唯一事情是永久且难以忍受的不确定性;不知道接下来会发生什么。
Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.
