Minority is about being an individual. It's like you have to sift through the darkness to find your place and be that individual you want to be your entire life.

I'm not a minority: I'm a majority of one. We all are. To call someone a minority, you give them baggage, of not being full, or not being seen as full. All of us need to be seen as full human beings.

To a considerable degree, all minority groups suffer from the same state of marginality with its haunting consequences of insecurity, conflict, and irritation.

We need more leaders speaking up for minority groups who have been marginalized and attacked.

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

If we're so cruel to minorities, why do they keep coming here? Why aren't they sneaking across the Mexican border to make their way to the Taliban?

It is no less the duty of the minority than a majority to endeavour to defend the country.

That's what the Senate is about. It's the last bastion of minority rights, where a minority can be heard, where a minority can stand on its feet, one individual if necessary, and speak until he falls into the dust.

What characterizes a member of a minority group is that he is forced to see himself as both exceptional and insignificant, marvelous and awful, good and evil.
