People As Witnesses Quotes

Never in our country’s history have we witnessed a natural disaster that has impacted so many people in such a wide area. In fact, as of the writing of this column, millions of people along the Gulf Coast have been displaced from their homes in a period of only five days Picture Quote #1

For far too long the world’s poorest people have seen no benefit from the vast natural resources in their own backyards. It is time to end the injustice where ordinary people are silent witnesses, left to suffer without basic services, as the profits from their countries’ assets are hidden and plundered by corrupt regimes Picture Quote #1

I think it was the ability of the theater to communicate ideas and extol virtues that drew me to it. And also, I was, and remain, fascinated by the idea of an audience as a community of people who gather willingly to bear witness Picture Quote #1

As a war correspondent and a mother, I’ve learned to live in two different realities... but it’s my choice. I choose to live in peace and witness war - to experience the worst in people but to remember the beauty Picture Quote #1

I think I’m still chewing on my years as a foreign correspondent. I found myself covering catastrophes - war, uprising, famine, refugee crises - and witnessing how people were affected by dire situations. When I find a story from the past, I bring some of those lessons to bear on the narrative Picture Quote #1

All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride Picture Quote #1

Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy Picture Quote #1

Gay people don't actually try to convert people. That's Jehovah's Witnesses you're thinking of Picture Quote #1
