Many people would be surprised that, in fact, I'm quite shy.

We are all afflicted by original sin; people succumbing to temptations to do and to be.

Love your enemy; it will ruin his reputation.

I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place.

Every situation of justice is an occasion where someone is being humiliated and they want to restore their dignity. They think, "I am a human being and I may not be able to defeat these people or destroy them, but I will hit out at them, because I am not a thing, I am human."

When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others.

Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility.
