I do this for my children who deserve better than they have gotten from this world. I will not stop until I have seen them get it.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.  -John Lewis, a tweet from 2018

Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself.  –Robert Green Ingersoll

Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less & less human. –Aung San Suu Kyi

“We have been too quiet for too long. There comes a time when you have to say something. You have to make a little noise. You have to move your feet. This is the time.”

–John Lewis. At a 2016 House sit-in following the Pulse shooting in Orlando

ohne angst, ich werde die Wahrheit sagen. 

-K.. Lauren Witte

What are we having this liberty for? We are having this liberty in order to reforn our social system, which is full of inequality, discrimination and other things, which conflict with our fundamental rights. 

–B.R. Ambedkar

Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down & rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society. 

- John Lewis, from his 2017 memoir, "Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change & the Future of America"
