I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.

Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.

As long as outmoded ways of thinking prevent women from making a meaningful contribution to society, progress will be slow. As long as the nation refuses to acknowledge the equal role of more than half of itself, it is doomed to failure.

We can't afford to be killing one another.

If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.

Let your greatness bloom.

I am fundamentally an optimist.
