"To this day I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom."

"Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it."

"Our freedom is not complete until all people are free."

"The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed, I suppose."
