I have found in life that everything, no matter how bad, comes to an end.

Love is energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness... Love will never die.

Dare your genius to walk the wildest unknown ways.

Never take advice from a donkey.

Always listen to yourself... It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention.

I learned that in each of us there burns a flame of independence that must never be allowed to go out. That as long as it exists within us we cannot be destroyed.

Racism does not diminish with brains, it's a disease, a sickness, it may incubate in ignorance but it doesn't necessarily disappear with the gaining of wisdom!

One thing is certain in life. Just when things are going well, soon afterward they are certain to go wrong. It's just the way things are meant to be.

When men can be made to hope, then they can be made to win.

Words are like diamonds. Polish them too much, and all you get are pebbles.

It's good to be a little frightened. It's good to respect your opponent. It keeps you sharp. In the fight game, the head rules the heart. But in the end the heart is the boss.

The same way we grow our bodies we must attend to our mind and spirit.

The thing for us to do is just to do our duty, and not worry about whether anybody sees us do it or not.

I imagine that yes is the only living thing.

All beauty contains darkness.

Those who won't hesitate to vivisect, won't hesitate to lie about it as well.

I knew the alphabet. Maybe I could be a writer.

I never rewatch the great films of my favorite directors because I'm afraid they won't hold up.

He that voluntarily continues in ignorance, is guilty of all the crimes which ignorance produces.

Same way I have my entire life. Keep my family and friends close. My Latino friends close. I visit the island [Puerto Rico] as often as I humanly can.

Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
