Inspiration In Words


Hello everyone,

We should all be done with research on our Non-Western World Leader paper, so I think that we should all share with each other a couple of our favorite quotes from our leader. As you can see I ended up switching from Arundhati Roy to Desmond Tutu! I found millions of quotes that I would absolutely love to share with all of you, but here are a couple that I picked:

"In the land of my birth I cannot vote, whereas a young person of eighteen can vote. And why? Because he or she possesses that wonderful biological attribute - a white skin" (Desmond Tutu).

""But they are sinners," I can hear the preachers and politicians say. "They are choosing a life of sin for which they must be punished." My scientist and medical friends have shared with me a reality that so many gay people have confirmed, I now know it in my heart to be true. No one chooses to be gay. Sexual orientation, like skin color, is another feature of our diversity as a human family" (Desmond Tutu).

What quotes have you found that stood out to you? Share with us!
