We must make an idol of our fear, and that idol we shall call god.

Vi måste göra oss ett beläte av vår rädsla och det belätet ska vi kalla för Gud.

Another quote from the 1950s

To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone...
