Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

-Elie Wiesel when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, in the New York Times 11 December 1986.

“I respect orders but I respect myself too and I do not obey to foolish rules made especially to humiliate me.”

— Jean-Paul Sartre

Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
