Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give.

Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.

For these are all our children, we will all profit by or pay for whatthey become.

You have to decide who you are and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you.

I really do believe in the New Jerusalem. I really do believe that we can all become better than we are. I know we can. But the price is enormous and people are not yet willing to pay it.

Please try to remember that what they believe, as well as what they do and cause you to endure does not testify to your inferiority but to their inhumanity

I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do.
