“I thoroughly enjoyed learning, well, if it was something I had an interest in, if not, I was stubborn. I wanted my ignorance to be revealed, for new perspectives to take the place of the dominant narratives I'd grown up with, rooted in bigotry and white supremacy. Since I did not attend school after graduating, I devoured books, almost always nonfiction. I didn't want to stop growing and expanding, and I was terrified I would. I still strive to grow and remind myself to set my self-righteousness aside, there's always more to learn.”

“When you know you don't know everything,' he says, 'you keep learning. And there's always more to learn. That would be my higher level of advice. Learn everything, study everything. Regard everybody as a potential teacher. When you are the smartest one in the room, you can get really contemptuous of other people. But at some point, you realize there are lots of other criteria by which people may excel. Somebody may be incredibly talented at music or art, or absolutely astonishing at human relationships or something else. We have to give credit to all these things as values. You shouldn't think, "Well, I'm better than everybody else because I'm good at this one thing." Humility can allow you to put what you've got into service and understand that that's our function.”
