Louis C.K. // "I read something in the paper that really confused me the other day. It said that 80 percent of the people in New York are minorities... Shouldn't you not call them minorities when they get to be 80 percent of the population? That's a very white attitude, don't you think? I mean, you could take a white guy to Africa and he'll be like, 'Look at all the minorities around here! I'm the only majority.'"
Arthur Ashe // "You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy."

Chuck Palahniuk // "Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It's all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary."
Mick Jagger // "I don't think of any of those things...meaningless typecasts. Do you wake up in the morning and think: 'I'm such and such?' You just are you."
Walt Whitman // "I exist as I am, that is enough."
Jerry Seinfeld // "We're craving the nondigital even more these days, the authentically human interaction."
Anais Nin // "Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for center. So we lost our center and have to find it again."
Steve McQueen // "I live for myself and I answer to nobody."
Alan Alda // "The difference between listening and pretending to listen, I discovered, is enormous... Real listening is a willingness to let the other person change you."
