Adolfo Perez Esquivel, Architect, Latin-American sculptor and human rights leader (1980 Nobel Peace Prize Winner) (1931-)

"To create this new society, we must present outstretched and friendly hands, without hatred and rancor, even as we show great determination and never waver in the defense of truth and justice. Because we know that we cannot sow seeds with clenched fists. To sow we must open our hands."
