Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or strikes out against injustice, or acts to improve the lot of others [they] send a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, these ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -Robert Kennedy (1920-1968) Those who lose dreaming are lost. -Aboriginal Australian proverb |
