I don't want to be considered a hero.... Imagine young people would grow up with the feeling that you have to be a hero to do your human duty. I am afraid nobody would ever help other people, because who is a hero? I was not. I was just an ordinary housewife and secretary.

People should never think that you have to be a very special person to help those who need you.

We did our duty as human beings: helping people in need.

You are the heroes. You are the heroes everyday.

Permanent remorse about failing to do your human duty, in my opinion, can be worse than losing your life.

Too often, when people are in trouble they look for scapegoats.
