1. Nefertiti Walker:

   We as a society absolutely idealize what the perfect athlete looks like, which is male and most often white, i think that those who are coming to support college athletics through name, image, likeness-type contracts, they're going to be falling victim to these same sort of racialized gender biases. There's also going to be a bias for those who appear to be most straight.

2. Oliver Wendell Holmes:

   There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare reason and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors as well as their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine, and predict. Their best illuminations come from above through the skylight.
