Quotations

“I felt rage for so much injustice, revulsion against so much badness. Nobody, not even the gendarmes who watched me could stop me. My slogan was: Never accept. Never shut up. . . I continue fighting for justice, so scarce on this earth.” (World People’s Blog; photo catamararcaadiario.com)
