Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.
Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.
