It may remain brave, dignified and unselfish. Or in the bitter fight for self preservation he may forget his human dignity and become no more than an animal Viktor E. Frankl
The defects of the mind arelike the wounds of the body. Whatever care we take to heal them the scars ever remain, and there is always danger of their reopening. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird. George Orwell
The wolves prey upon the lambs in the darkness of the night, but the blood stains remain upon the stones in the valley until the dawn comes, and the sun reveals the crime to all. Khalil Gibran
