Im hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. Thats what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think thats from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter. – Jay-Z
