写过去是理解现在和想象不同未来的一种方式。

If you believe that every life has equal value, it's revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. We said to ourselves: "This can't be true. But if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving."

I’ve come to the conclusion that if someone doesn’t like me for being myself, it’s their loss.

I don't think about being the best. I think about being better than yesterday.
