“They want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. They want us to barricade our doors and hide our children. Their aim is to make us fear life itself! They want us to hate. They want us to hate ‘the other’. They want us to practice aggression and perfect antagonism. Their aim is to divide us all! They want us to be inhuman. They want us to throw out our kindness. They want us to bury our love and burn our hope. Their aim is to take all our light! They think their bricked walls will separate us. They think their damned bombs will defeat us.

They are so ignorant they don’t understand that we will never be afraid, we will never hate and we will never be silent for life is ours!”

“People don’t want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know.

Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch.”
