Martin Luther King jr.
For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living.

To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.
Elie Wiesel
Human manners are wildly inconsistent; plenty of people have said so. But this one takes the cake: the manner in which we're allowed to steal from future generations, while commanding them not to do that to us, and rolling our eyes at anyone who is tediously PC enough to point that out. The conspicious consumption of limited resources has yet to be accepted widely as a spirtual error, or even bad manners.
Barbara Kingsolver

Others, though, decide that it really is possible to make a difference in society and to shape the world we will hand on to future generations.
Paulo Coelho
