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.

I have never wanted special attention. I was only willing to do what was asked of me and what seemed necessary at the time.

Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.

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

Real strength is being able to carry on when times are hard.

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.
