"In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us."
Thich Nhat Hanh - Vietnamese monk, activist and writer.
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the
oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that
you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
Bishop Desmond Tutu
"Despite its advent onto this earth many thousands of years ago, humanity is not yet capable of building a well-integrated and universal society. This is in no way indicative of the glory of human intellect and erudition. You who have understood the predicament, realized the urgency, seen the naked dance of evil and heard the hypocritical and raucous laughter of the divisive forces, should throw yourself into this noble task without further delay. When the ends are just and noble, success is inevitable."
Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected
and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever."
Clarence Darrow
"We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal"
and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal."
Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Why We Can't Wait,
1963
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of
opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of
increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all
its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
Harry S Truman
"O human beings, O' painstaking human beings, don't be afraid,
dont' be disheartened, I am for you. O' human beings please come, you
please come, I am for you."
Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji
