Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
