The best Quotes by Ryan White

Most recently my battle has been against AIDS and the discrimination surrounding it.

AIDS can destroy a family if you let it, but luckily for my sister and me, Mom taught us to keep going. Don't give up, be proud of who you are, and never feel sorry for yourself.

Hoosier Daddy?!

I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it. You don't have a lot of options in Indiana anyway, though, so I didn't want to stay there. I graduated early and worked a bunch of really odd jobs, and then I joined the Marines.

After I sang 'Back Home In Indiana' the first time, I became a Hoosier.

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin', 'Baby, what you gonna- ?'
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.

I don't think President Bush is doing anything at all about Aids. In fact, I'm not sure he even knows how to spell Aids.

An AIDS-free generation would mean that virtually no child is born with HIV; that, as those children grow up, their risk of becoming infected is far lower than it is today; and that those who become infected can access treatment to help prevent them from developing AIDS and from passing the virus on to others.

I'm the cofounder of Keep a Child Alive. We provide medicine for families affected by HIV and AIDS in places like Africa and India.

People with HIV and AIDS are nothing to be afraid of. They are people just like every single one of us, and each has a story to tell. These people should be helped, embraced, and not dismissed. We need to open our hearts and our minds to them, and we just may learn we're pretty much all the same.

African-American women account for 67 percent of all newly diagnosed female AIDS cases.

Have you ever wondered what life is about?
You could search the world and never figure it out

To leave in search of yourself, of your real needs, is easier when you don't have to justify yourself to anyone, when there are not too many people bestowing you their attention.

If the heart is always searching
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone
I'll never make it on my own

Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.

My life is pretty good, it is. But I was just searching for something to make it great, something to make it matter.

Don't be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away.

The Wok.
