Elie Wiesel
“My faceless neighbor spoke up:

“Don’t be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve.”

I exploded:

“What do you care what he said? Would you want us to consider him a prophet?
His cold eyes stared at me. At last he said, wearily:

“I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people.”
Elie Wiesel, Night

Tennessee Williams
“Nobody sees anybody truly but all through the flaws of their own egos. That is the way we all see ...each other in life. Vanity, fear, desire, competition-- all such distortions within our own egos-- condition our vision of those in relation to us. Add to those distortions to our own egos the corresponding distortions in the egos of others, and you see how cloudy the glass must become through which we look at each other. That's how it is in all living relationships except when there is that rare case of two people who love intensely enough to burn through all those layers of opacity and see each other's naked hearts.”
Tennessee Williams

Confucius
“Respect yourself and others will respect you.”
Confucius, The Sayings of Confucius

Steve Hall
“The truest form of love is how you behave toward someone, not how you feel about them.”
Steve Hall

John Rucyahana
“We are preaching hope, standing on the bones of the past.”
John Rucyahana, The Bishop of Rwanda: Finding Forgiveness Amidst a Pile of Bones
