The Strivers Row

Happy 85th Birthday to legendary actor, film director, author, and diplomat Sir Sidney Poitier.

afro-art-chick:

“So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.”

“A person doesn’t have to change who he is to become better.”

“We suffer pain, we hang tight to hope, we nurture expectations, we are plagued occasionally by fears, we are haunted by defeats and unrealized hopes … The hoplessness of which I speak is not limited.”

“To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.”

“I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was… a human being.”

“A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.”

“I am the me I choose to be.”


Happy 85th Birthday to legendary actor, film director, author, and diplomat Sir Sidney Poitier, KBE (February 20, 1927)
