France LITERATURE, 1921
340. If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
Desmond Tutu PEACE, 1984
341. Better an unjust God than an indifferent one.
Elie Wiesel PEACE, 1986
342. The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel PEACE, 1986
343. The world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent when and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe.
Elie Wiesel PEACE, 1986
HOPE AND DESPAIR
344. I have always thought that if the man who places hope in the human condition is a fool, then he who gives up hope in the face of circumstances is a coward.
Albert Camus LITERATURE, 1957
345. It is hope that gives life a meaning. And hope is based on the prospect of being able one day to turn the actual world into a possible one that looks better. When the French writer Tristan Bernard was arrested with his wife by the Gestapo, he told her: "The time of fear is over. Now comes the time of hope."
François Jacob MEDICINE, 1965
346. Remember: you must never, under any circumstances, despair. To hope and to act, these are our duties in misfortune.
Boris Pasternak LITERATURE, 1958
347. Never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill LITERATURE, 1953
348. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus LITERATURE, 1957
349. Without confidence in a cause, there is no action. Ignorance may be enlightened, superstition wiped out; intolerance may become tolerant, and hate be changed into love; ideas may be quickened, intelligence widened, and men's hearts may be ennobled; but from pessimism which can see nothing but gloomy visions nothing is to be expected.
Klas Arnoldson PEACE, 1908
350. No horse named Morbid ever won a race.
Ernest Hemingway LITERATURE, 1954
351. To deride the hope of progress is the ultimate fatuity, the last word in poverty of spirit and meanness of mind.
Peter Medawar MEDICINE, i960
352. Defeatism about the past is a grievous error; defeatism about the future is a crime.
Philip Noel-Baker PEACE, 1959
353. Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair. I remember the killers, I remember the victims, even as I struggle to invent a thousand and one reasons to hope.
Elie Wiesel PEACE, 1986
354. You have pessimists and optimists, and of the two the pessimists are the better informed.
Imre Kertész LITERATURE, 2002
355. If you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet.
Isaac Bashevis Singer LITERATURE, 1978
FEAR
356. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela PEACE, 1993
357. It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.
Aung San Suu Kyi PEACE, 1991
358. Emotional memories involving fear are permanently engrained in the brain. They can be suppressed but never erased.
Francis Crick MEDICINE, 1962
359. The worst of all fears is the fear of living.
Theodore Roosevelt
