I mean, I was supposed to be meeting Jane for coffee or something, but she flaked, which wasn't like her, but I guess people change or whatever. The waiter kept calling me buddy, and he had this phony mustache like he wanted to be in a movie or something.God, I hate that guys who think they're movie stars just because they can pour coffee without spilling it all ...

If every secret you've ever kept were poured into a river, would you still call that water clean? If every rule you've ever bent for someone that you cared about was projected over your head, would you still dare to call yourself innocent? Good. Then this hearing concerns you.

And I rise before the court to defend a dangerous claim. Corrupt ...

[cheering] [applause] [applause] In Novo Pariso, Honduras, I met a little girl named Magros. I was born and raised in Miami, yet I didn't speak any Spanish.

Because humanity doesn't need perfect words. It needs presence.We've all heard that iceer question. If you could have one superpower, what would it be. Some people might say flying, te ...

A parlare di umanità mi viene in mente un racconto rabbinico. Si racconta di Rabbie Ezecchia. Vive a Lublino, in Polonia. Una notte Rabbia Ezecchia fa un sogno. Sogna che a Praga, molto distante da dove vive lui, sotto il ponte c'è uno straordinario tesoro. Al mattino si sveglia, si gira verso la moglie, dice "Moglie, ho fatto un sogno". E che sogno hai fatto? E le racconta il sogno. E la moglie comincia a insistere, a dire "Bene, allora vai, no, vai dove. " "A praga. " "Ma che sei matta.Ma è pericoloso, de ...

What we're experiencing is a profound loss of decency and humanity. Let's take a moment to remember who this man was.
