Quotations "Businesses that have managed to last for a century have adapted to big changes in the world around them--from the Great Depression of the 1930s to wars, technological changes, and population shifts." "The Great Quake" Ilana DeBare
"The beloved objects that we had carried with us from place to place were now left behind in the wagon and, with them, finally, our illusions. Night, Wiesel (29, 2006)
"Teach students to explore human suffering… Teach the stories… Teach them the art of questioning." E. Wiesel, 2006 NCTE Address to English Teachers
"While some reviews were critical of the writing style, others praised the slim volume for its ability to take an event that most people had simply read about in the newspapers and put it into the context of individual lives. The human mind had trouble imagining statistics such as the hundreds of thousands of people who were immediately killed by the atomic bomb, but it could understand the effect of the event on the lives of the survivors in John Hersey's writing." Hiroshima, "Introduction," Cliffsnotes
"So never be afraid. Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion, against injustice and lying and greed. If you… will do this…you will change the earth." William Faulkner "Address to the Graduating Class" 28 May, 1951
