"Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. ..."
"I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains. ..."
"Whoever is happy will make others happy too."
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I am a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.
Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
Whatever you choose to do, leave tracks. That means dont do it just for yourself. You will want to leave the world a little better for your having lived.
Deborah E. Lipstadt
To try to defeat an irrational suppositionespecially when it is firmly held by its proponentswith a rational explanation is virtually impossible.
The clueless antisemite is an otherwise nice and well-meaning person who is completely unaware that she has internalized antisemitic stereotypes and is perpetuating them. The only proper response, however hard it may be for you, is to politely tell this person that what she said comes under the category of an insidious and insulting ethnic stereotype.
