Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity

Summary

This quote emphasizes that intelligence alone is not sufficient for a truly superior mind. It suggests that unless one's ability to think and analyze is complemented by a willingness to take action and implement their ideas, the brilliance of their mind will remain trapped and tormented. In other words, the potential for greatness lies not only in the power to conceive innovative thoughts but also in the drive to transform those thoughts into tangible outcomes through decisive action.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

I eat a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything. Everything in moderation. I know that's really hard for people to understand, but I grew up in an Italian family where we didn't overdo anything. We ate pasta, yes, but not a lot of it.
