“Where there is oppression, it will always be challenged by those of us who will challenge it with greater intensity, you know? So that's why I don't believe that there can ever be peace without justice, you know? The two go together.

They won't help, because always there will be people who demand dignity, who demand justice, who demand their rights.”
