Lucius Annaeus SenecaAt the outset, I want to say that the suggestion that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect.

Nelson MandelaYou either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John LennonThere are few things more dreadful than dealing with a man who knows he is going under, in his own eyes, and in the eyes of others. Nothing can help that man. What is left of that man flees from what is left of human attention.

Maya AngelouWhy am I here? I’m not lucky. That’s God.
Mr. TFighting for one’s freedom, struggling towards being free, is like struggling to be a poet or a good Christian or a good Jew or a good Muslim or good Zen Buddhist. You work all day long and achieve some kind of level of success by nightfall, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with the job still to be done. So you start all over again.
Maya AngelouActions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.

Franz KafkaOurs is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.
Mahatma GandhiI will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.
Ludwig van BeethovenThe formula ‚Two and two make five‘ is not without its attractions.
