Someone
(page 5)
I was always complaining that there weren't enough good people going into public service, so I figured I had to get behind someone I found so compelling.
You know when you have a good relationship with someone when you are just perfectly happy to be quiet and just hang out and do nothing.
Most parents would not hesitate to assume responsibility for their child's behavior on a playground, at school, or in someone else's home. What happens online should be no different. Parents should talk with their children about computer ethics, stipulate rules of conduct, and — most importantly — establish consequences.
I don't believe in revenge. When people are bullies it's because of a deeper-rooted issue — either their family life is tough or they're being bullied by someone bigger than they are.
There's always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself — whether it's Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc. — because that's the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else.
The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.
When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
Expressions of affection, like putting your arm around someone's shoulder, holding hands, or giving a kiss good night, involve the principle of honesty.
Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do.
You hear about people your whole life, 'So-and-so has cancer', and you're like, 'Wow, that's too bad', and then most people tend to go about their day. But when someone tells you that it's your father or it's your family, that doesn't tend to go away.
Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.
I love a guy in a suit — someone who puts on his nice Armani pants.
Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.
There's a saying. If you want someone to love you forever, buy a dog, feed it and keep it around.
I have no problem with someone who disagrees with my life. That's your right to feel that way.
No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes.
We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone — but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.
I am someone who can't hold on to negativity or hold on to grudges. I might feel something at a certain point, but I get tired after that. I don't carry it with me. I forgive and forget very easily, and that's the only way to be happy and peaceful.
