“... we die, just as we were born, at the edge of a road not of our choosing.”
“We are not just visitors on this planet, it belongs to us just as we belong to her, its past is ours, so is its future.”
“Our ancestors derived less from life than we do, but they also expected much less and were less intent on controlling the future. We are of the arrogant generations who believe a lasting happiness was promised to us at birth. Promised? By whom?”

“Our ancestors are our children; we peer through a hole in the wall and watch them play in their rooms, and they can't see us.”
“For it is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their own narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free.”
“Let your tears roll tonight, but tomorrow you will start the battle again. What defeats us, always, is just our own sorrow. ”
