If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.

I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.
