Children see things very well sometimes and idealists even better.

When a man knows that the abstraction ten exists - nothing on earth can stop him from looking for the fact of eleven.

Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most; when they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you ain't through learning - because that ain't the time at all... When you starts measuring somebody, measure him right child, measure him right. Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valleys he come through before he got to wherever he is.

Once upon a time freedom used to be life-now it's money. I guess the world really do change.

The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.

Do I remain a revolutionary? Intellectually -- without a doubt. But am I prepared to give my body to the struggle or even my comforts? This is what I puzzle about.

I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful and that which is love. Therefore, since I have known all of these things, I have found them to be reason enough and - I wish to live. Moreover, because this is so, I wish others to live for generations and generations and generations.
