“We white people think that we know everything.”

“If we know the secret of how the universe thinks and works, then we will get everything we want.”

“In a perfect world everything would be either black or white, right or wrong, and everyone would know the difference. But this isn't a perfect world. The problem is people who think it is.”

“Just when we think we have a system,… the system collapses. Just when we know our way around, we get lost. Just when we think we know what's coming next, everything changes.”

“What people need to understand is pussy is the Front Door to Life. Do you get that? Nobody ever thinks about it like that in the dusty ancient cabinet of old white men that think they know everything.”

“If we take everything into account — not only what the ancients knew, but all of what we know today that they didn't know — then I think that we must frankly admit that we do not know.”

“There are people who seriously think sea rescue activists like me rescue Black lives because we hate white people. Some white people feel personally threatened by the fact that human rights apply to everyone equally. White priviledge needs to end if we want justice, ever.”

“I think Africans are very much like white people back home, in that they think they are the center of the universe and that everything that is done is done for them.”

“There are three persons living in each of us: the one we think we are, the one other people think we are, and the one God knows we are.”

“Maybe that's what we look for in the people we love, the spark of unhappiness we think we know how to extinguish.”
