“You can’t fix anything if you won’t even admit something’s wrong.” “It’s tempting to blame ignorance,” said Socrates, “to believe they don’t know any better. But when a wrong is committed and men turn away, it is most often not out of ignorance but pride. Of all mankind’s emotions, it is pride that most often leads to their downfall.”

“Helen’s delighted chortle filled the air around them. “One thing I’ve learned over the years is that rich people aren’t really that much different than normal folks. Some are nice. Some are not so nice. You’ll be fine. Having money doesn’t make any of them better than you are, sweetie.”

“All I’d ever really wanted was to live a happy life, an existence without fear. So far, I hadn’t gotten there…yet. But I refused to give up trying. People are people, and the rich can be just as evil as a person stuck in poverty.”

“I consider that in the current situation, it is unfitting for a representative of the people to be overzealous to the point of forgetting the right to fundamental freedoms. Everyone deserves respect and is free to choose, as long as his choice does not in any way compromise our system’s political and economical equilibrium. If such a case should arise, time must first be taken to seriously consider the proposition before taking any action. History has shown us repeatedly that radical and beneficial changes to our society were first initiated by minorities who were able to innovate and stand up for their beliefs in the face of a government in paralysis.”
