“…when conditions are evil it is not your duty to submit… when conditions are evil, your duty, in spite of protests, in spite of sentiment, your duty, though you trample on the bodies of your nearest and dearest to do it, though you bleed your own heart while, your duty is to see that those conditions are changed. If your laws forbid you, you must change your laws. If your church forbids you, you must change your church. And if your God forbids you, you must change your God.”
- Clemence Dane (1861-1965)

“In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
but I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me…
By that time there was no one to speak up for anyone.”
- Martin Niemoller

“Injustice is a sixth sense, and rouses all the others.”
- Barr Amelia E.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”
