I like black for clothes, small items, and jewelry. It's a color that can't be violated by any other colors. A color that simply keeps being itself.

Anything is wonderful if it transcends things rather than being halfway.

She was like, 'Oh, you're adopted, but I wish I had pretty brown skin like you.'

We believe in equality and fair treatment and that's the moral principle that we adhere to as a nation.
Jeff Sessions
