Life Is Not A Spectator Sport.

If I Had To Choose Between Baseball’s Hall Of Fame And First Class Citizenship For All Of My People. I Would Say First-class Citizenship.

I Had To Fight Hard Against Loneliness, Abuse, And The Knowledge That Any Mistakes I Made Would Be Magnified Because I Was The Only Black Man Out There... I Never Cared About Acceptance As Much As I Cared About Respect.

I Don’t Think It Matters What I Believe, Only What I Do.

Next Time I Go To A Movie And See A Picture Of A Little Ordinary Girl Become A Great Star… I’ll Believe It. And Whenever I Hear My Wife Read Fairy Tales To My Little Boy, I’ll Listen. I Know Now That Dreams Do Come True.

Above Anything Else, I Hate To Lose.
