It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison. ↗

It is a paradox that as we reach out prime, we also see there is a place where it finishes. ↗

The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests. ↗

I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering, and delivering with a sense of violent love. ↗
