Nelson Mandela 1918-2013

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." (From Long Walk to Freedom, 1995)

I usually don't read biographies or autobiographies and felt somewhat disheartened when my blookclub chose this very long book,  "Long Walk to Freedom" but it was one of the most amazing books I've ever read.  An amazing man.  Rest in peace.
