"Over 30 years ago, Donald Trump took out full page ads calling for my execution. On the day he was arrested and arraigned, here is my ad in response."

"You know my style of clothing is basically a discourse between me and the kids. That’s what the premise of the brand is... We’re talking straight to the market. But I believe in the romantic interchange between intellectuals about fashion."

"Fashion is one of the greatest vehicles to merge music, art, architecture, design, typography... It’s a wide enough canvas, or a big enough sandbox, to touch all the different things that I’m into."

"["Robinson suggested the Holocaust was a hoax"] This foolishness about Hitler disarming MILLIONS of Jews and then marching them off to concentration camps is a bunch of hogwash."

"I'm not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join."

"I won’t be campaigning for Robinson."

"I am not surprised by Mark Robinson’s alleged inflammatory and offensive comments about my father. His praise for slavery, disparaging rhetoric, and grotesque characterization of my dad and his legacy are deeply worrisome for North Carolinians and all Americans who oppose racism and bigotry. We must work to ensure Mark Robinson gets nowhere near the governor’s office."

"If the allegations put forth by KFile and CNN are false, get a really good attorney, come up with a modicum of evidence that disproves some of it, sue them and settle in court. If you’re not able to do that within a reasonable period of time, then it puts weight to the likely reality that some, maybe not all, but some of these allegations are true, and if they are, they’re devastating and disqualifying."

"There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth."

"We have pushed homosexuality over the top. Mark my words PEDOPHILLA (sic) is next, which will be closely followed by the END of civilization as we know it."

"I don't care how much you cut yourself up, drug yourself up and dress yourself up, you still either one of two things — you either a man or a woman."

"Homosexuality is STILL an abominable sin and I WILL NOT join in 'celebrating gay pride' nor will I fly their sacrilegious flag on my page."

"Half of black Democrats don't realize they are slaves and don't know who their masters are. The other half don't care."

"I am a black NAZI!"

"We now find ourselves struggling with people who have evil intent. You know, there's a time when we used to meet evil on the battlefield, and guess what we did to it? We killed it! ... When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, what did we do? We flew to Japan! And we killed the Japanese Army and Navy! ... We didn't argue and capitulate and talk about, well, maybe we shouldn't fight the Nazis that hard. No, they're bad. Kill them. Some liberal somewhere is going to say that sounds awful. Too bad. Get mad at me if you want to. Some folks need killing! It's time for somebody to say it. It's not a matter of vengeance. It's not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It's a matter of necessity! When you have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping. It's time to call out, uh, those guys in green and go have them handled. Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it. ..."

"There’s strong leftist support for Palestinian causes in the United States. Many of my friends in New York, for example, think that Israel is doing terrible things in the Occupied Territories."

"I couldn't remember what life was like before I started walking.”"

"Did the Palestinians build the concentration camps? He said. What about the the Armenians: do their deaths mean less because they are not Jews."

"the next Edward Said! I was going to do it by studying comparative literature and using it as a basis for societal critique."

"And now the woman is praying to God... I am laughing laughing because God is forgetting everybody in this country."

"They gave no reason. They just said I would have to submit another one in twelve months. I was crushed. I left school. Plagiarism? The only possibilities are either that they refused to believe my command of English and theory or, I think this is even more likely, that they were punishing me for world events in which I had played no role. My thesis committee had me on September 20, 2001..That was the year I lost my illusions about Europe."

"I'm walking walking walking to where the sun is setting. I'm looking at it and wanting to catch it in my hand and to be squeezing until color are dripping out from it forever.

"Church has become one of the biggest businesses in Nigeria… these Christians are militants, preaching a potent combination of a fear of hellfire and a love of financial prosperity…"

"while the buildings and roads of the capital city suggest a rational, orderly society, the reality is the opposite"

"Action led to action, free of any moorings, and the way to be someone, the way to catch the attention of the young and recruit them to one's cause, was to be enraged. It seemed as if the only way this lure of violence could be avoided was by having no causes, by being magnificently isolated from all loyalties. But was that not an ethical lapse graver than rage itself?"

"the hardest thing to deal with, after weeks of constant power cuts, is the noise of the generators"
