I cherish my own freedom dearly, but i care even more for your freedom. too many have died since i went to prison. too many have suffered for the love of freedom. i owe it to their widows, to their orphans, to their mothers and their fathers, who have grieved and wept for them ..... not only have i suffered during these long lonely wasted years. i am no less life-loving than you are. but i cannot sell the birthright of the people to be free ....... only free men can negotiate. prisoners cannot enter into contracts. your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

More From Nelson Mandela

Last night i wept. i wept because the process by which i have become woman was painful. i wept because i was no longer a child with a child's blind faith. i wept because my eyes were opened to reality....i wept because i could not believe anymore and i love to believe. i can still love passionately without believing. that means i love humanly. i wept because i have lost my pain and i am not yet accustomed to its absence.

As important as the father is in the life of a child, even he must take second place to mother during the first three years of life.... consequently, mothers actually have more to do with producing a predisposition toward homosexuality than fathers. two kinds of mothers are particularly harmful - smother mothers and dominating mothers.

There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. to begin with, it is a prison. but in some respects more cruel than a prison. in a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .in the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. in a prison they may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains.

It is very seldom that any one is in prison for an ordinary crime unless early in life he entered a path that almost invariably led to the prison gate. most of the inmates are the children of the poor. in many instances they are either orphans or half-orphans; their homes were the streets and byways of big cities, and their paths naturally and inevitably took them to their final fate.
