• In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair,
  Will you still care? Will you be there?
  In my trials and my tribulations,
  Through our doubts and frustrations,
  In my violence and my turbulence,
  Through my fear and my confessions,
  And my anguish and my pain,
  Through my joy and my sorrow,
  In the promise of another tomorrow,
  I'll never let you part,
  For you're always in my heart.

  Michael Jackson

• Because I'm a civil rights activist, I am also an animal rights activist. Animals and humans suffer and die alike. Violence causes the same pain, the same spilling of blood, the same stench of death, the same arrogant, cruel and vicious taking of life. We shouldn't be a part of it.

• The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts--a child--as a competitor, an intrusion and an inconvenience.. .

• Although violence and the use of force may appear powerful and decisive, their benefits are short-lived. Violence can never bring a lasting and long term resolution to any problem, because it is unpredictable and for every problem it seems to solve, others are created. On the other hand, truth remains constant and will ultimately prevail.

  Dalai Lama

• There is no easy way to create a world where men and women can live together...

• If no one remembers a misdeed or names it publically, it remains invisible. To the observer, its victim is not a victim and its perpetrator is not a perpetrator; both are misperceived because the suffering of the one and the violence of the other go unseen. A double injustice occurs-the first when the original deed is done and the second when it disappears.
