“And then I explain to him how naïve we were, that the world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. 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, Night

“Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.”

“Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper.”

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
