Racism is not merely a simplistic hatred. It is, more often, broad sympathy toward some and broader skepticism toward others...

Some of us make it out. But the game is played with loaded dice. I wish I had known more, and I wished I had known it sooner.

You can't love someone without imaginative sympathy, without beginning to see the world from another point of view. You can't be a good lover, a good artist or a good politician without this capacity (you can get away with it, but that's not what I mean). Show me the tyrants who have been great lovers.

There's no room for hate and violence in this world. We must learn to be more kind, compassionate, empathetic, and sympathetic to humanity.
