"What is the most precious thing in the world? It seems to be the consciousness of not participating in injustice. Injustice is stronger than you are, it always was and it always will be, but let it not be committed through you.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Just finished Jerusalem - A History of the Middle East by Simon Sebag Montifiore. Fascinating, surprisingly easy to read. I'll often mark some passages in a book if I think I might want to refer to them later. Don't think I've ever marked this many.
