Not any soul on this earth can withstand the assault of the spirit. They may not accept it, they may not repent, but they will never be able to deny.

Revolutions may precede revolutions, earthquakes may rend the earth ... but amidst the crashing worlds and the clash of matter, truth, eternal truth, will remain unchanged.

It was the torch that people followed, whoever the barer may be.

The soul would have no rainbow, had the eyes no tears.

What he took from me was nothing, because he can't take my spirit, he can't take my soul. My soul is New Orleans.

And if every soul that has done injustice had all that is in the earth, it would offer it for ransom, and they will manifest regret when they see the chastisement and the matter shall be decided between them with justice and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.
