Possibly 2011's Most Important Quote

As the year 2011 draws to a close... I found this:

“We must 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

Original quote found on Being Me

Those that stand by and do nothing are as culpable as those that commit the atrocities!
