“There's a big difference between where I came from and the NFL. Things...” — Michael Oher Quote

“There's a big difference between where I came from and the NFL. Things like this don't happen to people from there often. It just took a lot of hard work and dedication, staying on the right path, believing in myself, and having an inner drive.”

“I love Baltimore, I definitely look at it as home, somewhere I'm very comfortable.”

“I think I could handle right tackle. With great coaches, I think I can handle anything.”

“The best mistake I ever made was believing that I was stupid. It was a childhood thing, but it played out big-time as an adult. It scorned me the rest of my life - in a good way.”

“To know how everybody wants to turn around history, believing what they want to believe and not looking at facts. I didn't think I would live to see something so bad.”

“Emotions can certainly be misleading: they can fool you into believing stuff that is definitely, demonstrably untrue. Yet emotions are also our indispensable tool for navigating, for feeling our way through, the much larger domain of stuff that isn't susceptible to proof or disproof, that isn't checkable against the physical universe.”
