Too much in Harlem happens in the shadows. People fear what they can’t see. And that’s what makes you different. They see you. It makes them trust you.[to Luke]
To really protect people… you need power.
Those people that say they want to help you are the ones that let you down the most.
THEY SAVE THAT LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND. MAKES PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE THE LUCKIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. ALTHOUGH, THEY NEVER SAID A DOGGONED THING ABOUT A CURE FOR HEARING LOSS.
There’s something about this city that makes good people want to shoot their way out of bad situations.
There’s no way to really protect yourself. You can’t put a weapon between you and losing people, and you can’t even run away from them, either.
There’s always gonna be people out there who act like it’s extra special when you do something impressive because of where you came from. You can’t control that. All you can control is what you do.
There aren’t any people like me. Not anymore.
There are people you go after and people you don’t.
The world is full of disappointments, and sometimes people let you down. You can’t just run away.
The world can belong to good people, to fair people, if we’re all just brave enough to try.
The secret to real power is to never betray your intentions, to wear nothing on your sleeve, and to never let anyone see your face.[to Michael]
