More From Henry Louis Gates
- "Very few, if any, first-generation black or white or Asian kids will pursue a Ph.D. They’ll pursue the professions for economic security. Many will go to law school and/or business school."
- "I knew that there were black people in Africa, of course, unfortunately because of movies such as ‘Tarzan.’"
- "The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering, some of them self-inflicted. Why can’t black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality, birth within marriage, parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?"

- "An artist is somebody who produces things that people don’t need to have."― Andy Warhol
- "‘Untitled’ is a time machine that can transport you to 1992, an edgy moment when the art world was crumbling, money was scarce, and artists like Tiravanija were in the nascent stages of combining Happenings, performance art, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, and the do-it-yourself ethos of punk. Meanwhile, a new art world was coming into being."― Jerry Saltz
- "A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires."― Hedy Lamarr
