Kurt Vonnegut
“I don't know how to save the world. I don't have the answers ot The Answer. I hold no secret knowledge of how to fix the mistakes of generations past & present. I only know that without compassion & respect for all of earth's inhabitants, none of us will survive – nor will we deserve to.”
Leonard Peltier.
