Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu

"In South Africa we say, 'A person is a person through other persons.' I am me only because you are you. We are bound up in a bundle of life. When your humanity is undermined, whether I like it or not, my humanity is undermined, as well. We belong together. You cannot be human in isolation. You need other human beings."
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu (Acceptance Speech for the 2000 Delta Prize)
