Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is less violent than war?

[A] person whose head is bowed and whose eyes are heavy cannot look at the light.

When I write, I try to represent the voices of people I've known who had no voice.

Saying of the ProphetOppressionWhen oppression exists, even the bird dies in its nest.

When you have a hammer in your hand, everything around you starts looking like a nail.

One way to be sure you are not making the wrong decision, is to lookvertically upwards

A nation will never be vanished by subjugation or oppression, unless they get used to.

They'll never build a fence high enough or a wall thick enough to keep freedom out.

If you punish them, they are your slaves and if you forgive them they are your brothers.

When there is liberty, you expect a higher degree of freedom and not human rights abuse.

If you are blaming the oppressed rather than the oppressor you know that something is wrong.

For every King is right in his own eyes and rests the blame to whoever he wishes to carry it.

When the rich and the powerful rise they leave the powerless and the poor without possibility.

Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.

The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.
