A truly powerful statement is powerful regardless of the background of the person who wrote it. Sometimes statements can be powerful because of who said it... but dismissing a quote just because someone has a certain background? I don't like an idea being discredited because of a person's impact of society. I really appreciated reading both of these quotes. I'm glad they were contributed.
