Dead people are easy to love. It's the living ones who are hard.

History remembers only the celebrated, genealogy remembers them all.

I reserve the right to evolve. What I think and feel today is subject to revision tomorrow.

Expect nothing and accept everything and you will never be disappointed.

Live with an open mind and an open heart. Always choose love over fear and kindness over cruelty.

War, hatred, and violence all spring from one infernal idea: that one person, race, creed, or culture is better than another.

Apathy is the slow poison coursing through the body politic that paves the way to tyranny.

The people who change the world never lose hope no matter how bleak the outcome might appear to be.

To listen to the silence is to hear the heartbeat of the Universe.

From generation to generation, lights are extinguished and darkness threatens until some one stoops to bear the torch.

Only love and courage will make this world a safer place. Hatred and fear will make it more dangerous.

The power of Allah: no sound, no shape, no form. But when it manifests, none can resist it.

I lived in London for small amounts of time, and in Florida and New York.

When I became political and Communist, it was because they were the only people I had ever met who fought the color bar in their lives.

I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.

To be able to say that "if we change our point of view in the following way ... things are simpler" is always a gain.

I love the '70s. I think the '70s had the best music and the best movies.

We are only intelligent by our own measures

They asked me when I was out there, 'Why do you want to be traded?' I said me staying here is like divorcing my wife and marrying someone who looks like me. That's backwards, man.

I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.

It doesn't matter what kind of world we live in as long as we have each other.
