Quotes
- “You cannot look at a person and tell whether they're good or bad.”
- “Racism is a grown-up disease, and we must stop using our children to spread it.”
- “Good and evil comes in all shades and colors... evil is not prejudiced.... evil just needs an opportunity to work through you.... All of us, no matter what we look like, we all have a common enemy, and that is evil. If we don't understand that and come together, then evil will win.”
