“I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.” ― Audrey Hepburn ❤️

Zelenskyy’s UN speech hit the nail on the head: "Something always seems to stop Putin from simply saying that’s it, enough, peace. He is always looking for someone who can help take another country instead of stopping and running his own country." Dictators don't want peace; they want empire. 🇺🇦

'I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.' — Anne Frank

“Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes & ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up & speak out, we strike a blow against freedom, decency & justice." ~RFK

“Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom, decency and justice."

Americans: "Both parties are the same." Trump raped children, demolished the White House, put his name on everything, and grifted billions from supporters and taxpayers. Obama was also mired in controversy: he tried to pay for healthcare for Americans. Same, right?

Jean Chrétien had a message for 'our American friends' while speaking at the 9/11 commemoration. 'Canadians are tolerant and kind,' said the former PM in front of the U.S. ambassador. '[But] never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness.'
