QUOTES

"Art in its highest form is art that serves and instructs society and human development."

Anti-democracy...is a virus that exists, and pro-democracy is the antibody to that virus, and I think we have to become vigilant, and we have to stay on top of the issues of democracy and freedom.

If I've impacted on one heart, one mind, one soul, and brought to that individual a greater truth than that individual came into a relationship with me having, then I would say that I have been successful.

"We Have Got To Bring Corporate America To Its Knees"

"You can cage the singer but not the song."

Through electing officials that will protect the Constitution and commit themselves to the rights of the people and the health of the nation, we will be able to ensure that no group of ideologues and no private sector institution can coopt our rights, take us into senseless wars and steal the nation from its people.

"These children and their parents know that getting an education is not only their right, but a passport to a better future - for the children and for the country. Kenya's decision to abolish school fees is a shining example of just what can be achieved in the developing world by sheer political will."

"Children who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS are not only just as deserving of an education as any other children, but they may need that education even more. Being part of a school environment will prepare them for the future, while helping to remove the stigma and discrimination unfortunately associated with AIDS."
