Against Quotes

At the same time there was the good of the poor and the good of the rich. And the good of the whites, the blacks and the yellow races...

Sometimes the very concept of good became a scourge, a greater evil than evil itself Picture Quote #1

I don't believe rape is inevitable or natural. If I did, I would have no reason to be here. If I did, my political practice would be different than it is.

He showed the world what can be done against the odds, against a superpower.

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted.
