"I criticize America because I love her. I want her to stand as a moral example to the world."

But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or perhaps even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends.

We cannot be truly Christian people so long as we flaunt the central teachings of Jesus: brotherly love and the Golden Rule.

You cannot defect form an insight. You cannot unsee what you have seen.

The beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold.

People are often led to causes and often become committed to great ideas through persons who personify those ideas. They have to find the embodiment of the idea in flesh and blood in order to commit themselves to it.

I refuse to accept the view . . . that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
