“be glÎ±d of life, becÎ±use it gives you the chÎ±nce to love Î±nd to work Î±nd to plÎ±y Î±nd to look up Î±t the stÎ±rs; to be sÎ±tisfied with your posessions, to despise nothing in the world except fÎ±lsehood Î±nd meÎ±nness Î±nd to feÎ±r nothing except cowÎ±rdice; to be governed by your Î±dmirÎ±tions rÎ±ther thÎ±n by your disgusts, to covet nothing thÎ±t is your neighbour's except his kindness of heÎ±rt Î±nd gentleness of mÎ±nners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and to spend Î±s much time Î±s you cÎ±n with body Î±nd with spirit.”

But it holds on like a steel claw in your chest. Even if the tree dies, the roots cling to you. I've seen men and women give up everything for love that once was.”
“I'm a sheep when it comes to opinions; I will change my mind and jump on the bandwagon.”
“I have never received full credit from the SPLA [Sudanese People's Liberation Army], because the men are very sexist and feel that I'm acting out of place, bringing too much attention to myself - but for the funeral of our leader John Garang, they had me write the poem "Chol Apieth" to eulogize him, and that was their way of acknowledging my contributions.”
“Perhaps this is what really happens in life to most good men. They are not crucified. They simply pass through life and then die, and their passing influences just a few people to make them just a little happy.”
