Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking and loving and dreaming.

What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. Not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are responsible for what we do with those memories

The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference creates evil. Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power.

Even in darkness it is possible to create light.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.

To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.

Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.

I've never met a strong person with an easy past.

There is a virtue, I must presume, in shamelessness, since by placing on parade the things one does not know, one discovers that no one else knows either.

People create all kind of fancy watches and clocks, never stopping to realize they're building monuments to the greatest of all thieves.

There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.

I still love to see the ballet. And I love to boogie.

You're so beautiful but that's not why I love you, I'm not sure you know this but the reason I love you is you

Failure is not an option. Failure is necessary...We try. We fail. We learn. We adjust.

Turning away, I stared at the long road winding off ahead of me. I sighed. This trip might take awhile. "Then start walking, Rose," I muttered to myself. I set off, off to kill the man I loved.

Failures and setbacks are a part of this experience, and it will remain in you as wisdom.
