Black players had an issue with Joe Torre. They weren't treated like everybody else. Even I got called out in a couple of meetings that I thought was unfair. ↗

After Nicholas hung up the phone, he watched his mother carry buckets and garden tools across the couch grass toward a bed that would, come spring, be brightly ablaze as tropical coral with colorful arctotis, impatiens, and petunias. Katherine dug with hard chopping strokes, pulling out wandering jew and oxalis, tossing the uprooted weeds into a black pot beside her. The garden will be beautiful, he thought. But how do the weeds feel about it? Sacrifices must be made. ↗

You don't love me "Johnny", you don't even care for me. You're selfish and egoistic! I may not be the best but I give my all in loving you. You always treat me less, you even treat me like your rest. I'm not happy of what's going on but I won't be happy either if I'll go. I feel like I'm walking on a wire, always cautious, always conscious and sometimes nervous! I can't be who I am, I can't do what I do. I can't say what I feel! This isn't fair, this isn't right. But what is fair and what is not if feeling this hurt brings me close to you! ↗

It's not that I wanted to be an actor; it's that I didn't want to be a dancer! I was trained in traditional Chinese dance, and after working so hard it seemed unfair to just disappear into a group. ↗

Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb. ↗

Brick and mortar businesses - and the communities that depend on them - cannot continue to bear an unfair sales tax burden from which their on-line competitors are effectively exempt. ↗

Jill had three basic statements about life, 1. It is your life, usually with some added social commentary. 2. What you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things. 3. No one ever said that life was fair. ↗

It might seem unfair to reward a person for having so much pleasure over the years, asking the maize plant to solve specific problems and then watching its responses. ↗
