I haven't lost faith in human nature and I haven't decided to be less compassionate to strangers.

Blind faith no matter how passionately expressed will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition.

Faith is a passionate intuition.

I'm a very passionate believer in the unity of knowledge. There is one world of reality - one world of our experience that we're seeking to describe.

I am a universalist passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.

I do not think white America is committed to granting equality to the American Negro. This is a passionately racist country it will continue to be so in the foreseeable future.

My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education.

As long as she is talented enough and passionate about doing it herself then I will be happy and support her. I think I will be sensible - my parents said I could only do it if I got my education and so I had something to fall back on.

I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education urban education women and children's issues and literacy.

I have maintained a passionate interest in education which leads me occasionally to make foolish and ill-considered remarks alleging that not everything is well in our schools.
