“And we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazed.
A gardener like that one, no one can replace. And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking most all the day.
Oh, and I've been calling
Oh, "Hey, Hey, Johnny"
"Can't you come out to play?"”

Elton John (1947) English rock singer-songwriter, composer and pianist

“I've grown up with racism my entire life. I've been bullied, sent to the hospital, beat up, I've been called a Chink and a Gook. Every single racial slur an Asian person can be called, I've been called it.”

Arden Cho (1985) Korean-American actress and singer

“Every one of us knows how painful it is to be called by malicious names, to have his character undermined by false insinuations, to be overreached in a bargain, to be neglected by those who rise in life, to be thrust on one side by those who have stronger wills and stouter hearts. Every one knows, also, the pleasure of receiving a kind look, a warm greeting, a hand held out to help in distress, a difficulty solved, a higher hope revealed for this world or the next. By that pain and by that pleasure let us judge what we should do to others.”

Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1815–1881) English churchman, Dean of Westminster

“Known of the respectability on the part of everyone. I've always been called the villain of reality because unfortunately I'm one of the few real ones. When I think of something, I expose it, regardless of whether it may later please the public.”

Soleil Sorge (1994) American naturalized Italian model, television presenter, television personality and commentator

Original: (it) Noto del perbenismo da parte di tutti quanti. Io sono sempre stata definita la cattiva del reality perché purtroppo sono una delle poche vere. Quando penso una cosa la espongo, a prescindere che possa poi piacere al pubblico.
