“I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color”

“The truth is, I don't want to be disappointed again. Not by someone else's shortcomings, and especially not by my own.”

“Strength is Happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being.”

“Inside of every being there is a constant war being raged. The part that tell us to do what is right and what is decent and the part of us that is self-serving. The part that wants what it wants regardless of who is hurt getting it.”

“Gomers are human beings who have lost what goes into being human beings. They want to die, and we will not let them.”
