"I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
"When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw."
"I am the captain of my soul."
