To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.

I will no longer act on the outside in a way that contradicts the truth that I hold deeply inside. I will no longer act as if I were less than the whole person I know myself inwardly to be.

Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way.

I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.

It is better to protest than to accept injustice.

As long as there is unemployment, war, crime and all things that go to the infliction of man's inhumanity to man, regardless - there is much to be done, and people need to work together.

There were times when it would have been easy to fall apart or to go in the opposite direction, but somehow I felt that if I took on more step, someone would come along to join me.
