You and I ought not to die,before we have explained ourselves to each other.

Oh, I could spend my life having this conversation - look - please try to understand before one of us dies

In order not to find me in contradiction with myself, I should be allowed enough time to explain myself

Before we can forgive one another, we have to understand one another.

It is not death that allows us to understand each other, but poetry.

I could not die with you,
For one must wait
To shut the other’s gaze down, — You could not.

One longs to explain, to be sure they understand, the people one loves.

We simply must speak to each other honestly about all these hard truths. In the words of Dr. King, 'We must learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools'.

We shouldn't cede to those who want to impose hate. We should be able to live, respecting us mutually.

I don't think we are ready to die, any of us, not without being escorted.

We should desire neither the immortality nor the death of any human being, whoever he may be, with whom we have to do.

You have to talk to make sure you're alive.

We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together, and if we are to live together we have to talk.

Everybody dies … The thing is, to have a life before we die.
