At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this. It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in.

Victory or defeat? It is the slogan of all-powerful militarism in every belligerent nation. And yet, what can victory bring to the proletariat?

What really matters is not whether we have problems, but how we go through them. We must keep going on to make it through whatever we are facing.

An opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.

I believe there is only one race - the human race.

People need to free their minds of racial prejudice and believe in equality for all and freedom regardless of race. It would be a good thing if all people were treated equally and justly and not be discriminated against because of race or religion or anything that makes them different from others.

I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
