Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.

It is very dangerous to make a person larger than life because, then, young men and women are tempted to believe, well, if he was that great, he's inaccessible, and I can never try to be that or emulate that or achieve that.

I believe that every person is born with talent.

Money and power can liberate only if they are used to do so. They can imprison and inhibit more finally than barred windows and iron chains.

I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at.

We are growing up. We are growing up! Out of the idiocies - the ignorances of racism and sexism and ageism and all those ignorances.
