there is clearly a kind of anger that is healthy. It is the concentration of one's whole being in the determination: this must change.

What is the revolution that we need? We need to dissolve the lie that some people have a right to think of other people as their property. And we need at last to form a circle that includes us all, in which all of us are seen as equal... We do not belong to the other, but our lives are linked; we belong in a circle of others.

A liberation movement that is nonviolent sets the oppressor free as well as the oppressed.

People may find it more comfortable to listen to us if we equivocate, but in the long run only words that discomfort them are going to change our situation.

I learned always to trust my own deep sense of what I should do, and not just obediently trust the judgment of others - even others better than I am.

Let me be really here, here in this place and this time where I am.
