Nelson Mandela Long Walk To Freedom Quotations

The authorities liked to say that we received a balanced diet; it was indeed balanced - between the unpalatable and the inedible.

I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed.

When I walked out of prison, that was my mission, to liberate the oppressed and the oppressor both.

I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.
