Leaders of political parties need to keep in contact with the people; that's what it's all about. If violence were to erupt, I am fairly confident that we could control our people. Whether or not the authorities can control theirs is another matter altogether.

I've always said there's no hope without endeavor. Hope has no meaning unless we are prepared to work to realize our hopes and dreams but in order to that we do need to have friends. We need those who believe in us. Friends are those who believe in us and who want to help us whatever it is that we are trying to achieve.

Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world.

Maybe it is something to do with age, but I have become fonder of poetry than of prose.

I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.

Freedom must be demanded and defended, by those who have been denied it and by those who are already free.

I haven't heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I'm listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music.
