Those who invest in South Africa should not think they are doing us a favor; they are here for what they get out of our cheap and abundant labor, and they should know that they are buttressing one of the most vicious systems.

People want much the same things, but they have been formed by history to have a particular perception of the other.

We must stop climate change. And we can, if we use the tactics that worked in South Africa against the worst carbon emitters.

No future without forgiveness.

People are able to justify immense cruelty and say that it is something that is sanctioned by their faith.

I think we have got to put fire under the feet of all kinds of people.

A person is a person through other persons. None of us comes into the world fully formed. We would not know how to think, or walk, or speak, or behave as human beings unless we learned it from other human beings. We need other human beings in order to be human. I am because other people are. A person is entitled to a stable community life, and the first of these communities is the family.
