Quote by Lenny Wilkens

“Athletes, we were supposed to just be there, and in class I made it a point that I was prepared for every exam, that I got on that Dean's List. Because I wanted them to see that there was a black person on the Dean's List who was an athlete. I accepted the challenge, because I want you to know that we bleed just like you do. We have feelings just like you do. Let us read the same books and we'll understand it just like you do!”

“I don’t want people’s beliefs and opinions about God. I want true knowledge of the true God. We all want the real thing though, don’t we? Deep down, we all crave the Absolute Truth, not just some nice, liberal idea that we think might make the world a better place. I don’t want to talk to my own unconscious, or my own subjective beliefs, then call it “God” … because it makes me feel good. I want to actually talk to God. I want the answers to all the big questions. I want to know what it’s really all about. What am I supposed to do with my life? How am I supposed to live? What’s the right thing to do? What’s the meaning of life? What’s the purpose of each and every one of us? What are the big explanations for everything? Is there a way to get all the way through to God, the true God?”
