Nelson Mandela
There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.
Nelson Mandela
A new society cannot be created by reproducing the repugnant past, however refined or enticingly repackaged.
