I have my books<br>And my poetry to protect me;<br>I am shielded in my armor$$$<br>Hiding in my room$$$ safe within my womb.<br>I touch no one and no one touches me.<br>I am a rock$$$<br>I am an island.

Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.

To my mind$$$ the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one's self-respect.

They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.

I believe in equality for everyone$$$ except reporters and photographers.

Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.

I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.

It was a love of perpetual flight.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
