George Takei Just Shared This Thought Of Mine…

Damian Barr quote

…keeps finding its way back to me. I tweeted it out in April last year then Peggy Noonan picked it up for her column in the Wall Street Journal and from there it’s gone around the world. It’s been featured in in hundreds of newspapers and magazines and memes. It’s strange how a casual thought has become part of a global conversation. Oprah cited it on her SuperSoul Podcast last year and, most surreally, I’ve had people quote it back to me not realizing I said it. For me, that shows how far spread inequality—the yachts and rowing boats, the haves and have-nots. Even more importantly, the sharing of thought and the way folk are adapting it signals a wider desire to challenge inequality and make the world a fairer place.
