All I can do is say I smell a rat. I don't know where it is or what kind of rat it is, but as an artist, I can express how. But I couldn't responsibly stand up and tell people which way to go, because then I'm just as guilty as the people who are telling everybody else what to do and where to go.

Those who conduct themselves with morality, integrity and consistency need not fear the forces of inhumanity and cruelty.

Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.

As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.

We must work passionately and unrelentingly for the goal of freedom, but we must be sure that our hands are clean in the struggle. We must never struggle with falsehood, hate, or malice. We must never become bitter.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
