― Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness

“But I was going to learn the hardest lesson in life: that those who
are closest to you, always betray you first.”
― Susan Speranza, Tale of Lucia Grandi

“To accept your country without betraying it, you must love it for that which shows what it might become. America -- this monument to the genius of ordinary men and women, this place where hope becomes capacity, this long, halting turn of 'no' into the 'yes' -- needs citizens who love it enough to re-imagine and re-make it.”
― Cornel West

“To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal. You see, I could conceive death, but I could not conceive betrayal.”
― Malcolm X
