The first time it was reported that our friends were being butchered there was a cry of horror. Then a hundred were butchered. But when a thousand were butchered and there was no end to the butchery, a blanket of silence spread. When evil-doing comes like falling rain, nobody calls out "stop!" When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.

Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse.

Only bad generals need heroes.

Sometimes it's more important to be human, than to have good taste.

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.

Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars; because to write demands thinking.

Love is also like a coconut which is good while it is fresh, but you have to spit it out when the juice is gone, what's left tastes bitter.
