The so-called cancel culture on the Internet, the extremism that sometimes flares up on university campuses and newsrooms, and the exaggerated claims of those who practice identity politics are a political and cultural problem that will require real bravery to fight.

Anne Applebaum

We should not be ashamed of not having answers to all questions yet…I’m perfectly happy staring somebody in the face saying, I don’t know yet, and we’ve got top people working on it. The moment you feel compelled to provide an answer, then you’re doing the same thing that the religious community does: providing answers to every possible question.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

There's a need for pop. There's a need for radio. There's also a need to understand the brilliance and the depth of jazz and soul - and what hip-hop can be at its most brilliant and what hip-hop can be at its most simplistic.

Pharoahe Monch

"In about 20 years, kids won't listen to rock anymore. They'll listen to music produced by technological gadgets, and become slaves to it."

Musical Legend Kurt Cobain (1967 – 1994)

You know what's cool about America? Free speech. The nice stuff that you like isn't what needs to be protected. It’s the stuff that you hate. That needs protection so that somebody like the government and others don't get to decide what you can say.

Comedian Rob Schneider

I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over. The test of a government is not how popular it is with the powerful and privileged few, but how honestly and fairly it deals with the many who must depend upon it..

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter (1924 — 2024)

The most important decision I've made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, 'Come on everybody, we made it.' Then I had to realize we didn't make it. I made it.

Snoop Dogg

I do like not knowing where I'm going, wandering in strange woods, whistling and following bread crumbs.

Tilda Swinton

If my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don't want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you've got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what's gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper. Everybody that's in the industry has lost their edge.

Kendrick Lamar

You can’t talk sh*t without penalties.

Doja Cat

Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.

Morgan Freeman

Cinema isn’t a slice of life. It’s a piece of cake.

Alfred Hitchcock
