“I explain to him how naïve we were, that the world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. 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.”
― Elie Wiesel, Night

“we love each other for who we are. Do you know how rare that is? To find someone you love above all else and who in turn loves you the same way? What is that—one in a million?”
― J.L. Witterick, My Mother's Secret

“Don't compromise yourself - you're all you have.”
― John Grisham, The Rainmaker

“When the opportunity came, it appeared in a different form, and from a different direction than Barnes had expected. That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.”
― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
