"Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day.
Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death; fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood; fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure.
The most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant, or futile the small daily acts of courage which help to preserve a person's self respect and inherent human dignity."
~ Aung San Suu Kyi |

'I-I hardly know, Sir, just at present- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
'What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar, sternly. 'Explain yourself!'
'I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir,' said Alice, 'because I'm not myself, you see.'
