Quotes by Misty Griffin (?)

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. - Albert Einstein”

“Our Voice is our most powerful tool against these evil people who prey on the innocent, we should never be silent and let them continue to harm people. By being silent we are telling them it is “Okay to continue”. I firmly believe if you choose to stand with those who wish to keep the victim silent you are yourself guilty of a crime against humanity
- Misty Griffin”
