...it's you I like.
Every part of you.
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings,
whether old or new.
I hope that you'll remember
every time you're feeling blue.
That it's you I like
it's you yourself, it's you...
— Fred Rogers, 1970
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live, and let's change the way we treat each other.
— Tupac Shakur, 1992
