“You listen to me. If you want to do it, do it alone. You have no right to sacrifice innocent lives. And remember, if you hadn’t already noticed, we are all going through hard times, you are not the only one.”
Leonida Teohari, Mama Dida: My Road to Canada

“So, this was it. We gave away everything we built, we would leave behind relatives, friends memories and our country of birth, and go to a country we knew only from books and news, all in the hope of building a life better than the one we had in Romania.”
Leonida Teohari, Mama Dida: My Road to Canada

“Sister when you make it through a war like me and try to make it through alive, you learn that humans are all the same, there is no religion that is worth following; all you need to do is not get stupid or crazy, make sure you do what is good, and stay away from the bad.”
Leonida Teohari, Mama Dida: My Road to Canada
