“Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born?

—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“Let us guard against saying that death is opposed to life. The living is merely a species of the dead, and a very rare species.”
