“The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.”
― Blaise Pascal, The Mind on Fire: A Faith for the Skeptical and Indifferent

“Perhaps everybody has a garden of Eden, I don't know; but they have scarcely seen their garden before they see the flaming sword. Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or: it takes strength to remember, it takes another kind of strength to forget, it takes a hero to do both. People who remember court madness through pain, the pain of the perpetually recurring death of their innocence; people who forget court another kind of madness, the madness of the denial of pain and the hatred of innocence; and the world is mostly divided between madmen who remember and madmen who forget. Heroes are rare.”
― James Baldwin

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
― Desmond Tutu

“The greatest danger to our future is apathy.”
― Jane Goodall
