“I cannot be part of a world ...
Where men dress their wives as prostitutes by showing everything that should be cherished.

Where women do not want children, and men don’t want a family."
~Keanu Reeves

"‪The picture speaks thousand words of human tragedy and collapsed humanitarian system. The philosophy of world order dictated by the powerful nations is based on changing regimes they don’t like and for that they don’t hesitate bombing people and destroying cities. Once cities become graveyard, they start re-building lives by offering peanuts. They destroyed everything in Iraq and Libya. Afghanistan, Yemen and Syria are still bleeding. The unfortunate thing is they talk about people’s dignity and humanitarian principles!" ~‬Наят Карим (on current affairs January 2020/The Voice of Reason/FB

'tis impossible! this style is too great, too sublime to be supported with proper dignity—the sublime and beautiful how charmingly blended!" ~Frances Burney

"We tend to suffer from the illusion that we are capable of dying for a belief or theory. ... that even in merciless death, a futile death that knows neither flower nor fruit has dignity as the death of a human being.

"Without dignity, none of the protections of the various legal human rights mechanisms can have real meaning." ~Mendy and Flannery
