Life Quotes

बचपन में मज़ाक का पात्र बनने से बचने के लिए मैं हास्य का सहारा लेती थी। या फिर मैं अपने माता-पिता को हँसाने की कोशिश करती थी ताकि मुझे डाँट न पड़े। बचपन में मैं फ़्लिप विल्सन को देखती थी और उनका पूरा कॉमेडी शो रट लेती थी, बिल कॉसबी के रिकॉर्ड लगातार सुनती थी, स्टीव मार्टिन, कैरोल बर्नेट, लुसिल्ल बॉल को सुनती थी। मैं बस उन चीज़ों को अपने अंदर आत्मसात करती गई और उनसे प्यार करने लगी।

I used humor to avoid being picked on as a kid. Or I would try and make my parents laugh, so I wouldn't get in trouble.

I just drank that stuff up and loved it.

अपना गुज़ारा करने के लिए मैंने पढ़ाई के साथ-साथ एक चीनी रेस्तरां में काम किया। लोग मुझसे कहते, "अरे, तुम्हें अपने घर की बहुत याद आती होगी," लेकिन मैंने ज़िंदगी बहुत संघर्षों में बिताई थी। मैं वहाँ आकर बेहद खुश थी। अमेरिका आने से पहले मैंने कभी सुपरमार्केट भी नहीं देखा था। घर पर, मेरे माता-पिता मुझे फ्रिज खोलने तक नहीं देते थे, क्योंकि उन्हें डर था कि बार-बार खोलने से उसका दरवाज़ा खराब हो जाएगा।

I studied and worked in a Chinese restaurant to support myself. People would say to me 'Oh you must be missing home', but I had grown up hard. I was so happy to be there.

ہم ایک عام محنت کش خاندان سے تعلق رکھتے تھے، اور میرے والد کا فلسفہ بہت سیدھا سادہ، محنت کشوں والا تھا۔ اگر آپ میرے والد سے کہتے، "سڑک کے اس پار جو مسٹر سمتھ رہتے ہیں، ان کے بارے میں آپ کیا خیال ہے؟" تو وہ صرف ایک دو الفاظ میں کہتے۔ وہ کہتے، "وہ ایک محنت کش آدمی ہے"، اور اس کا مطلب یہ ہوتا تھا کہ یہ بندہ صبح اٹھتا ہے، باہر جاتا ہے، محنت کرتا ہے، اپنے گھر پیسےلاتا ہے، بیوی بچوں کو کھلاتا پلاتا ہے، چھت فراہم کرتا ہے، اسکول بھیجتا ہے، پڑھاتا ہے، یہ یقینی بناتا ہے کہ وہ محفوظ رہیں، اور بس۔ اس ایک جملے میں کتنے ہی گہرے معنی چھپے ہوتے تھے۔

We were very - we were a working family, and my father had this very simple philosophy, simple working class approach.

शैक्षणिक तरक्की की वजह से, पुलिस के साथ होने वाली घटनाओं की वजह से, और हम अश्वेत लोग जिस गरीबी में पल-बढ़ कर बड़े होते हैं, उसकी वजह से—अमेरिका में गोरे होने का खर्च कम है, जबकि काला होने पर बहुत कीमत चुकानी पड़ती है। इसलिए इस देश में अगर आप गोरे पैदा होते हैं तो आपका जीवन आसान रहता है, बनिस्बत इसके कि आप एक अश्वेत व्यक्ति के रूप में पैदा हों।

It's just cheaper to be White in America than it is to be Black, because of educational advances, because of the police incidents, because of the poverty we grow up in as African-Americans. So, it's just cheaper in this country if you're born a Caucasian than being born a Black person.

यह थोड़ा अजीब है। जब मुझे अपनी बीमारी का पता चला—कैंसर—तो मैंने ख़ुद से कहा, 'मेरे साथ ही ऐसा क्यों?' और फिर, पिछले दिनों जब मुझे अच्छी ख़बर मिली, तब भी मैंने यही बात कही।

यह ब्रह्मांड पूरी तरह से इत्तेफ़ाक़ पर चलता है। यहाँ कुछ भी पहले से तय नहीं है। यह सिवाय इसके कुछ नहीं कि हर तरफ़ बस अराजकता फैली है। सबाटोमिक कण अंतहीन और बिना किसी मक़सद के एक-दूसरे से टकरा रहे हैं। विज्ञान हमें यही सिखाता है, लेकिन आख़िर इसका मतलब क्या है? यह हमें क्या बताना चाहता है, जब ठीक उसी रात जिस रात इस आदमी की बेटी की मौत होती है, मैं इसके साथ बैठकर ड्रिंक ले रहा होता हूँ? यह महज़ एक इत्तेफ़ाक़ कैसे हो सकता है?

The universe is random. It's not inevitable. It's simple chaos. It's subatomic particles in endless, aimless collision. That's what science teaches us, but what is this saying?
