In the 21st century I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life regardless of race or religion.

I'm not defined by where I came from. I never took part in the rules and hatred that sometimes go along with religion. But if my parents are happy with what they believe then I'm happy to stay out of their way. We agree to disagree.

God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.

Black power can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white America to their questions about it.

Men have defined the parameters of every subject. All feminist arguments however radical in intent or consequence are with or against assertions or premises implicit in the male system which is made credible or authentic by the power of men to name.

As I became very defined in my personal politics I turned down some films that I slightly regret now I'm not going to say what they were.

There has been a shift to what may be defined as a culture of negativity which goes well beyond coverage of politics.

The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.

As for political poetry as it's usually defined it seems there's very little good political poetry.

I heard Nirvana and discovered that songs could be like poetry but a little bit more refined: you didn't have to have 20 verses to get your point across.

A poem might be defined as thinking about feelings - about human feelings and frailties.
