“I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.”

“Find out what any people will quietly submit to, and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong that will be imposed upon them." Frederick Douglass”

“I try to have reasonably happy endings because I would hate any child to be cast down in gloom and despair; I want to show them you can find a way out of it.”

“You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who refuse to come to earth. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope, and without fear.I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.”
