“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

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”
― Zelda Fitzgerald

“We loved with a love that was more than love.”
― Edgar Allen Poe
