I don't often want to speak. I try to be a reasonable person and to be diplomatic, but you go to that place and you see the settlements, you see what has happened to the land that was owned by the Palestinians.
Desmond Tutu
Image

Desmond Tutu
Image
Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.
Desmond Tutu
Image
Arrogance really comes from insecurity, and in the end our feeling that we are bigger than others is really the flip side of our feeling that we are smaller than others.
