It's hard because people think they have something to lose and the truth is they have everything to gain in trying to love somebody.

There's racism and sexism and ageism and all sorts of idiocies. But bad news is not news. We've had bad news as a species for a long time. We've had slavery and human sacrifice and the holocaust and brutalities of such measure.

The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

In spite of everything that was done to me and my race, in spite of the adversity and the bitter moments, again we rise.

Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.

I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias.
