"Here's a message to the new borns,..." - Quote by Tupac Shakur

“We don't need no more rappers, we don't need no more basketball players, no more football players. We need more thinkers. We need more scientists. We need more managers. We need more mathematicians. We need more teachers. We need more people who care; you know what I'm saying? We need more women, mothers, fathers, we need more of that, we don't need any more entertainers”

“Dont blame me, I was given this world, I didn't make it.”

“I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn't commit.”

“A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer.”

“My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.”

“Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.”

“...light overcomes darkenss. A tiny match can illuminate the darkest room. As long as there is some light somewhere in the universe, [darkness] can be defeated.”

“If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.”

“It's a fixer-upper of a planet but we could make it work.”
