Alice Thomas Ellis
“There is no relationship. Women, like men, women, children, babies hamsters.

This is the Google Translate of the quote in Persian, above.”
Alice Thomas Ellis

George Weigel
“As John Courtney Murray put it, the obligations of society and the state are “not coextensive with the wider and higher range of obligations that rest upon the human person (not to speak of the Christian)”. And thus “the morality proper to the life and action of society and the state is not univocally the morality of personal life, or even of familial life. . . The effort to bring the organized action of politics and the practical art of statecraft under the control of the Christian values that govern personal and familial life is inherently fallacious. It makes wreckage not only of public policy but of morality itself.”
George Weigel, The Fragility of Order: Catholic Reflections On Turbulent Times

Abraham Lincoln
“Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.”
Abraham Lincoln

Michèle Fitoussi
“One result of turning a blind eye to the horrors of the world, because you can stand only so much, is that you end up forgetting that each individual who is subjected to heinous suffering is your fellow, your equal, and that you could have been in their shoes, and that he or she could one day have become your friend.”
Michele Fitoussi, Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail
