• In men whom men condemn as ill
  I find so much of goodness still,
  In men whom men pronounce divine
  I find so much of sin and blot,
  I do not dare to draw a line
  Between the two, where God has not.

• Europe has been at peace since 1945. But it is a restless peace thats shadowed by the threat of violence. Europe is partitioned. An unnatural line runs through the heart of a very great and a very proud nation [Germany]. History warns us that until this harsh division has been resolved, peace in Europe will never be secure. We must turn to one of the great unfinished tasks of our generationand that unfinished task is making Europe whole again.

• There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the money touch, but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.

• It's the principle of it, I get a rush when I bust
  Some dope lines oral, that maybe somebody'll quote.
  That's what I consider real in this field of music,
  Instead of puttin' brain cells to work, they abuse it.
  Non-conceptual, non-exceptional,
  Everybody's either crime-related or sexual.
  For those who pose lyrical, but really ain't true, I feel:
  Their time's limited, hard rocks too.

• Dreams last so long
  Even after you're gone
  I know you love me
  And soon you will see
  You were meant for me
  And I was meant for you
  Go about my business, I'm doing fine
  Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
  Same old story, not much to say
  Hearts are broken every day
  I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
  I try to tell myself it'll be all right
  I just shouldn't think anymore tonight

• Being tame is what we're taught: ... put the crayons back, stay in line, don't talk too loud, keep your knees together, nice girls don't...
  As you might know, nice girls DO, and they like to feel wild and alive. Being tame feels safe, being wild, unsafe. Yet safety is an illusion anyway. We are not in control. No matter how dry and tame and nice we live, we will die. And we will suffer along the way. Living wild is its own reward.

• I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom, I was a stranger in a strange land, and my home after all
  was down in de old cabin quarter, wid de ole folks, and my brudders and sisters. But to dis solemn resolution I came; I was free, and dey should be free also; I would make a home for dem in
  de North, and de Lord helping me, I would bring dem all dere.

• You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind....Cain slew his brother. Can might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin.
