No human being can be more human than another human being. I liberate you from my ignorance.

In the fifties, you have your beauty as a treat. I thought that until I hit the sixties.In your sixties, life decides to reward you with certain kinds of profound appreciation, so that people name their children and schools and libraries after you! And you still have your sexuality and your sensuality. If you want your sexuality, you still have it.

And if a person is religious, I think it's good, it helps you a bit. But if you're not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

Try to be all you can be to be the best human being you can be. Try to be that in your church, in your temple. Try to be that in your classroom. Do it because it is right to do.

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

To be human is to be challenged to be more divine. Not even to try to meet such a challenge is the biggest defeat imaginable.

Having courage does not mean we are unafraid.
