Stephen King

Everybody now admits that apartheid was wrong, and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political, I can't do anything about that.

Miriam Makeba

When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys.

Robert Louis Stevenson
