people kill in the name of them, and die defending them...

We are told to remember the idea,
not the man, because a man can fail.

 He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but years and years later,
 an idea can still change the world.

I've witnessed firsthand the power of ideas,
 I've seen people kill in the name of them,
and die defending them...

but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it,
 or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love...

And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man...
 A man that made me remember..a man that I will never forget.
