"My soul has grown deep like the rivers."

"I have been a stranger in a strange land."

"The only way to get a thing done is to start to do it, then keep on doing it, and finally you'll finish it."

"I've been a victim of the white press, the black press, and the communist press."

"The moon is a disc of silver, the stars are tiny diamonds, and the night is a black velvet cloth."
