I hate labels, and I wear no labels. When a man has to put something around his neck and say I am, he isn't.

There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside.

You can taste a word.

The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self. All sin is easy after that.

The deed of love is stronger than words

There is a way to look at the past. Don't hide from it. It will not catch you if you don't repeat it.

I discuss humanity and not races.

Sometimes you think the whole world is falling, and it's only yourself that's leaning.

A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing.

What the world really needs is more love and less paper work.
