“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.

― Elie Wiesel, The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident

“Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

“But that bird can fly to Africa and back. Powered by bugs and worms and desire.”
― Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See
