Everyone lets you down, it’s a fact of life. The key is to know when they’re doing it because they don’t care enough to try not to.

Amnesia is not knowing who one is and wanting desperately to find out. Euphoria is not knowing who one is and not caring. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who one is—and still not caring.

Contrary to today's stereotypes, racists do not always chew tobacco and drive pickup trucks with gun racks. They wear silk shirts, treat women as possessions, and talk about human rights at cocktail parties far from communities of people of color. The men in pickup trucks are just as likely to be warm and caring as the high-minded liberals are to be racists.
—Wilma Mankiller
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
—Eleanor Roosevelt
