To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.

I am not fighting for success just to get more beauty out of myself and share it with more people.

Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.

That attitude that fighting is probably not fair but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.

When I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in I'm in an attitude of abject passivity. It doesn't feel like fighting at all it just feels like submitting.

Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

A political prisoner is someone who is out fighting for his or her people's rights and freedom and is imprisoned for that alone.
