There's many, many people who have been through a lot worse things than I went through. I lost my dad when I was 14 and to violence.

There were a lot of years that I was trying to do things that other people wanted me to do. But you have to follow your heart. Believe that you have a unique group of talents and abilities that are going to allow you to accomplish something in an area that interests you. Work at that and try to make some kind of contribution to your community.

What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero; and an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of the people.

The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.

Certitude is not the test of certainty. We have been cocksure of many things that were not so.

I thought they'd get one of us, but Jack, after all he's been through, never worried about it I thought it would be me.
