Quote:
• When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others. ― Desmond Tutu (1931-2021) South African Anglican bishop & theologian
• You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. — Marie Salomea Skłodowska–Curie (1867-1934) Polish-French physicist
