I'm not only my spirit buy my body, and who can decide how much I, my individual self, am conditioned by the accident of my body? Would Byron have been Byron but for his club foot, or Dostoyevsky Dostoyevsky without his epilepsy?

I was never told what to read, and nobody ever gave me anything to read. You know the way there are certain books that everybody reads while they're growing up?So what I do is nights when I've got nothing else to do I go to the Pickwick bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard. And I just open books at random or when I come to a page or a paragraph I like, I buy that book. So last night I bought this one. Is that wrong?

I remember that night. It was late at night, in the daytime one was bothered with the gaping, silly students, and I worked then sometimes till dawn. It came suddenly, splendid and complete in my mind. I was alone; the laboratory was still, with the tall lights burning brightly and silently. In all my great moments I have been alone. 'One could make an animal, a tissue, transparent! One could make it invisible! All except the pigments, I could be invisible! ' I said, suddenly realising what it meant to be an albino with such knowledge. It was overwhelming. I left the filtering I was doing, and went and stared out of the great window at the stars. 'I could be invisible! ' I repeated.
To do such a thing would be to transcend magic. And I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a man, the mystery, the power, the freedom. Drawbacks I saw none.

What shall we do now? These words re-echo inside me, my heart beats quicken, the earth disappears from under my feet when I hear this phrase, my stomach is sucked into a vortex. I can't deceive myself, deceive you, I can't change my breathe to be able to capture you, to give you a real smile, you don't know what you want yet. I can't only be your salvation, I think if I were the most precious thing in the world you wouldn't have shot me, you would have come to capture me. We will be happy now and forever.

When you are really hungry,
When you don't want to to dress up,
When you want to feel at home,
Go there.

Doors are opening now that were not open in the past, and the great challenge facing minority groups is to be ready to enter these doors as they open. No greater tragedy could befall us at this hour but that of allowing new opportunities to emerge with out the concomitant preparedness to meet them.

When a person doesn't understand something, he feels internal discord: however he doesn't search for that discord in himself, as he should, but searches outside of himself. Thence a war develops with that which he doesn't understand.
