You Know You're Right.
Song lyrics, Posthumously released (post-1994)
“I have failed at many things, but I have never been afraid.”
“They have never felt pain … We don’t have their connections, but we’re ready to die.”
As quoted in "Protests Urge Resignation of Leaders in Thailand" in The New York Times (15 March 2010).
Original: (it) Non ho mai scelto la vita facile, ho sempre scelto ciò che sentivo nel cuore, perché io vivo di sentimenti... di ciò che provo, non di opportunismo, non di falsità... ma di cose semplici, vere.

As quoted in Sophia, Living and Loving: Her Own Story (1979) by A. E. Hotchner, p. 76.
Context: I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself. So failure or reversal does not bring out resentment in me because I cannot blame others for any misfortune that befalls me.
