“I had no epiphany, no singular revelation, no moment of truth, but a steady accumulation of a thousand slights, a thousand indignities and a thousand unremembered moments produced in me an anger, a rebelliousness, a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people. There was no particular day on which I said, Henceforth I will devote myself to the liberation of my people; instead, I simply found myself doing so, and could not do otherwise.”

“There is nothing more important in life than giving. Tolerance is forged when people look beyond their own desires”

“To lead people, walk behind them.”

“How can he remember well his ignorance - which his growth requires - who has so often to use his knowledge?”

“I know no diplomacy save that of truth.”

“Truth is such a precious article - let us all economize in its use.”

“I never, ever get involved in politics. With politics you are not allowed to be honest. I don't have time to deal with that. I would rather work with kids.”
