When I was a kid, I was denied not only a childhood, but I was denied love. When I reached out to hug my father, he didn't hug me back. When I was scared on an airplane, he didn't put his arm around me and say, "Michael, don't worry. It's going to be OK." When I was scared to go on stage, he said, "get your ass on that stage." … I will never deny a child love. If it means that I have to be crucified or put in jail for it, then that's just what they're going to have to do.

More quotes by Michael Jackson

Lies run sprints but the truth runs marathons.

And the whole world has to answer right now,
Just to tell you once again,
'Who's bad!'

We have to heal our wounded world. The chaos, despair, and senseless destruction we see today are a result of the alienation that people feel from each other and their environment.

You've been hit by
You've been struck by
a smooth criminal.

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us.
