We all have our moments of courage. We also have our moments of cowardice and fear. It's not about that. So I don't believe in the cult of personality, although I respect human beings and respect people, because that's the nature of life, engaging with other people. But it's ideas that must ultimately bring us together, it's not coming together around a person, because people come and go.
People have strengths and weaknesses.
We're disappointed or not disappointed. But ultimately it's ideas that can allow us to continue to move forward. It was the power of ideas that propelled me forward. Even in the Movement, when I talk about this generation, the generation of young people in the sixties, I was inspired. Other people heard a strident sound, but I heard a chorus, I heard music, I heard brilliance and nobility and principles in the ideas of peace and justice and equality and fair play and all these things.
