I'm going to fight for human rights, whether I do it silently behind the scenes or vocally so that I get locked up. I can't just sit back; it's not in my nature. I can't sit back and blindly ignore it, and I won't.

We are not actually equal - humanity - if we are not allowed to freely love one another.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

You say dabble in politics, I don't know what that is. You say stand up and talk for my rights - I know what that is.

The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign.

We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
