"Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation."

"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul."
"I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Suppressing a culture is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence."
