I had to fight hard against loneliness, abuse, and the knowledge that any mistake I made would be magnified because I was the only black man out there. Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.
—Jackie Robinson
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
