"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
- Elie Wiesel
"Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being."
- Mahatma Gandhi
"Remember, to hate, to be violent, is demeaning.
It means you're afraid of the other side of the coin - to love and be loved."
- James Baldwin
(1924-1987)
"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, ALWAYS!"
- Mahatma Gandhi
