    “It is only with the setting of the sun that one can judge how well the day had gone. Looking back through the vista of time, I can analyse and assess why I fought hard for my right to say no to joining the Baath Party, why I took that first step towards requesting respect for human rights. But it is important to stress this: Up against a task larger than oneself, one has to overcome one's fear.”

    Widad Akreyi
    “My heart aches for you… for them in you
    For angels shaking in fright… on a dreadful night
    For them on site… for flames leaping on every height
    For blood rolling like thunder… o'er a fragile kite
    For souls so bright… like remnants of light
    For a desperate plight… for hands held tight
    My love, in my world… where no hope is in sight
    And no right is right… what words can I write?
    Our song went lost… with main and might
    I'll tell you tonight… in the hush of midnight
    Stay here and fight… for a mournful rite”
    ― Widad Akreyi, Zoroastrians' Fight for Survival
