Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

The devil lives in our mistakes, the lord lives in our rights. Who lives in our ignorance, and who wins after all?

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go."

Words are things. You must be careful, careful about calling people out of their names, using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives and all that ignorance. Don’t do that. Some day we’ll be able to measure the power of words. I think they are things. They get on the walls. They get in your wallpaper. They get in your rugs, in your upholstery, and your clothes, and finally in to you.

It is only out of ignorance that people are cruel, because they really don’t think it will come back.

All God's children need traveling shoes.
