Many people in San Francisco know me, and they know my persistence.

I've always admired President Chavez for standing up to imperialism and the meddling of the American government in South America.

I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno

The opposite of good is not evil; it's apathy.

Every day is a new sense of tearing my heart out of my body again when I see other children who have been killed, and I know what their families are going through.

I raised four kids in six years.

Loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy is what makes a true patriot, not loyalty to a symbol of the country.

We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain

Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.

Your life will still find its own paths from there, and that they may be good, rich, and wide is what I wish for you, more than I can say.

Each day begins with a prayer of thank you.
