“If…if you’re in a group that I made fun of, then just know that I probably will only make fun of you if I see myself in you. I make fun of poor white people because I was once poor. And I know that the only difference between a poor black person and a poor white person is that a poor white person feels like it’s not supposed to be happening to them.”

This is empathy; it tears down barriers and opens up new frontiers for optimism."”
“And it's as well, to do it while I'm alive to see to it myself — for I've often observed that if you leave your world's gear to the poor when you're dead, just for the good reason that you can't take it to the grave with you — it'll melt in a wonderful way through the hands of the 'secretaries' and 'distributors' of the fund, 'till there's nothing left for those you meant to benefit.”
