Even though I saw the executioner and the fire, I could not say anything but what I have said.

Every man gives his life for what he believes ... one life is all we have to live and we live it according to what we believe.

I fear nothing for God is with me!

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

I will not leave South Africa, nor will I surrender. Only through hardship, sacrifice and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days.

I might bend, but I will NEVER break because it's in my nature as a strong woman.
