    The refugees of the world are a constant and painful reminder of the breakdown of civilization through the stupidity of war. They are its permanent victims.
  • Настя Мозговаяцитирует7 лет назад
    I think that one of the reasons it is so difficult for us, as a people, to understand other areas of the world is that we cannot put ourselves imaginatively in their place.

    Perhaps the older generation is often to blame with its cautious warning: “Take a job that will give you security, not adventure.” But I say to the young: “Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure.

    There is such a big, muddled world, so much to be done, so much that can be done if we increase in depth of understanding, in learning to care, in thinking of hunger not as an abstraction but as one empty stomach, in having a hospitable mind, open like a window to currents of air and to light from all sides.
