"We tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited." 
 "People love to say, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime." What they don't say is, "And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod." That's the part of the analogy that's missing." 
 "If you're Native American and you pray to the wolves, you're a savage. If you're African and you pray to your ancestors, you're a primitive. But when white people pray to a guy who turns water into wine, well, that's just common sense." 
 This book was filled with remarkable quotes. Trevor's observations on race and class are articulate and insightful. His anecdotes are both entertaining and thought provoking. Not only do they open up our American perspective to South Africa's history of apartheid, but he seamlessly parallels that with the struggles we currently face in this country. The color of his skin allowed him access to various worlds and he was observant enough to notice how the power structure worked and how it didn't. His quote about teaching a man to fish really resonated with me. The US not only has a profound problem with addressing race, but its also not even close to addressing class. I liked the guy okay from his Daily Show hosting, but this book made him someone I respect for their wokeness. If you want to think critically about these subjects while enjoying some often funny and heartfelt stories, I highly recommend this book.
