Quote by Tyler Perry

“What I've found about it is that there are some folks you can talk to until you're blue in the face--they're never going to get it and they're never going to change. But every once in a while, you'll run into someone who is eager to listen, eager to learn, and willing to try new things. Those are the people we need to reach. We have a responsibility as parents, older people, teachers, people in the neighborhood to recognize that.”

The answer was always the same, and even when I knew absolutely there was no way on this earth that it was true, I said it anyway: No one.”
