More quotes by Desmond Tutu
A life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives.
Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu
People are killed because they're gay. I don't think, What do I want to do today? I want to speak up on gay rights. No. It's God catching me by my neck. I wish I could keep quiet about the plight of the Palestinians. I can't!
Desmond Tutu
God could have created us to be automatons who were always choosing the right side, making the right decision. It is an incredible thing, God said I want persons who therefore have freedom.
Desmond Tutu
