More quotes by Desmond Tutu
You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.
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
I have been to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and I have witnessed the racially segregated roads and housing that reminded me so much of the conditions we experienced in South Africa under the racist system of Apartheid.
Desmond Tutu
I mean in the South African case, many of those who were part of death squads would have been respectable members of their white community, people who went to church on Sunday, every Sunday.
Desmond Tutu
Brothers and sisters of Egypt, you have given the world the most precious gift: the belief that ultimately right will prevail.
Desmond Tutu
You have seen after Katrina just what failures there are in American Society.
Desmond Tutu
God says, Please, please help me realize this dream. And some of God's best collaborators are the young, because you dream. You dream God's dream.
Desmond Tutu
Without memory, there is no healing. Without forgiveness, there is no future.
Desmond Tutu
Sometimes you want to whisper in God's ear, God, we know you are in charge, but why don't you make it slightly more obvious?
Desmond Tutu
Is Zionism racism? I would say yes. It's a policy that to me looks like it has very many parallels with racism. The effect is the same. Whether you call it that or not is in a sense irrelevant.
Desmond Tutu
You ask when is it that you can say yes we have had enough. It is enough revenge and I think now we have restored the equilibrium. It never happens!
Desmond Tutu
We can enjoy a self-assurance that doesn't depend on the state of things outside ourselves, be it downturns or booms or whatever.
Desmond Tutu
Every praying person, every person who has an encounter with God, must have a passionate concern for his or her brother and sister, his or her neighbor. To treat any of these as if he were less than the child of God is to deny the validity of one's spiritual existence.
Desmond Tutu
I am not an afterthought I am not an accident.
Desmond Tutu
God has such a deep reverence for our freedom that he'd rather let us freely go to Hell than be compelled to go to Heaven.
Desmond Tutu
When you think of the sort of things that happen when a genocide happens, it's again not people who are intrinsically evil.
Desmond Tutu
Catharsis is about cleansing and healing at one and the same time - healing memories and attitudes, healing the spirit and the heart.
Desmond Tutu
I don't preach a social gospel I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person.
Desmond Tutu
No future without forgiveness.
Desmond Tutu
Anywhere where the humanity of people is undermined, anywhere where people are left in the dust, there we will find our cause.
Desmond Tutu
