I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as
Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American
dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream
of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not
argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and
resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country
where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality.

The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of .
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.

I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.
