“People in that crowd want to make poverty history, but NOT if they have to pay for it themselves”
“No people in history have ever survived, who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies.”
“The tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible.”
“Even today we don't pay serious attention to the issue of poverty, because the powerful remain relatively untouched by it. Most people distance themselves from the issue by saying that if the poor worked harder, they wouldn't be poor.”
“People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.”
“People pay for that they do, and still more, for what they have allowed themselves to become. And the pay for it simply: by the lives they lead. - James Baldwin”
