"If you're so panicked that you can't control what you say, you can still control whether you speak at all. Since speaking while panicked may lead you to say things you later regret, the sensible choice is to remain silent. That said, in extreme panic, some people may genuinely have difficulty controlling even that higher-level choice."
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
