Mary’s Quotes

“There is an abiding beauty which may be appreciated by those who will see things as they are and who will ask for no reward except to see.”

“It is only with the setting of the sun that one can judge how well the day had gone. Looking back through the vista of time, I can analyse and assess why I fought hard for my right to say no to joining the Baath Party, why I took that first step towards requesting respect for human rights. But it is important to stress this: Up against a task larger than oneself, one has to overcome one's fear.”
