    Chris Hogan
  214. “It's degrading or insulting to say somebody is a good person or has a soul.

    Marvin Minsky

    Paige Spiranac
  230. “Just because someone lives in a hut, that doesn't mean that isn't a good person, that that person can't do better, that person isn't capable of being great. And just because it's a hut - whatever that means - doesn't mean it's not a home.”
