“If I can help somebody as I pass along...
If I can cheer somebody with a word or song...
Then my living shall not be in vain.”
― Alma B. Androzzo

“When it's all doom and dark outside and only you inside to first make a light then tend it, you have to be a bitch.”
― Stephen King, Dolores Claiborne

“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. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”
― Elie Wiesel, The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident

“Love is a choice — not simply, or necessarily, a rational choice, but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guide. Love is a conversion to humanity — a willingness to participate with others in the healing of a broken world and broken lives. Love is the choice to experience life as a member of the human family, a partner in the dance of life.”
― THE REV. DR. CARTER HEYWARD Professor of theology at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge Mass
