“I was confirmed at my prep school at the age of 13.”

“Scientists disagree among themselves but they never fight over their disagreements. They argue about evidence or go out and seek new evidence. Much the same is true of philosophers, historians and literary critics.”
“Biology is the study of complicated things that have the appearance of having been designed with a purpose.”

“I was fortunate enough to go to a school where my fifth-grade teachers really put a spotlight on artists, and specifically Black artists, so I learned about Henry Ossawa Tanner at a very young age. I loved going to the art museum with my class.”
“You can have a spiritual awakening and discover a new side of you at any age. And best of all, love can happen at any age. Life can just start to get exciting when you're in your 40s and 50s. You have to believe that.”
