“I feel an immense sadness but above all anger. We can argue over liberty, but when we’re in disagreement we respond to art with art, to wit with wit. We never respond to a drawing with blood. No! Never. These victims are martyrs, and I shall pray for them with all my heart.”

Hassen Chalghoumi, the Muslim imam of Drancy, Paris

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”.

Martin Luther King

“Judge people by their best, not their worst.”
Henry van Dyke

― Paulo Coelho

“It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”
― Anne Frank
