“Every human institution (Justice included) will stretch a little, if only you pull it in the right way.”

“It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen; that is the common right of humanity.”

“We are beckoned to see the world through a one-way mirror, as if we are threatened and innocent and the rest of humanity is threatening, or wretched, or expendable. Our memory is struggling to rescue the truth that human rights were not handed down as privileges from a parliament, or a boardroom, or an institution, but that peace is only possible with justice and with information that gives us the power to act justly.”

“Right knows no boundaries and justice no frontiers; the brotherhood of man is not a domestic institution.”

“There are times, young fellah, when every one of us must make a stand for human right and justice, or you never feel clean again.”

“It is the pull of opposite poles that stretches souls. And only stretched souls make music.”
