Every minute a chance to change the world.

I had been a Girl Scout from the time I was 8 to the time I was 18 years old. I had belonged to my church organization and youth groups. But, you never really found a way that you could make a change.

If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?

I think we brought to the world, the United States anyway, the whole idea of boycotting as a nonviolent tactic. I think we showed the world that nonviolence can work to make social change.

Every single day we sit down to eat, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and at our table we have food that was planted, picked, or harvested by a farm worker. Why is it that the people who do the most sacred work in our nation are the most oppressed, the most exploited?

If we can just convince other people to get involved, this could make some major changes in our society. It's very exhilarating.

Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.
