Lisa Jewell
“All men are weak,' said Phin.
'That's the whole bloody trouble with the world. Too weak to love properly. Too weak to be wrong.'
My breath caught at the power of this statement. I immediately knew it to be the truest thing I'd ever heard. The weakness of men lay at the root of every bad thing that had ever happened.”
Lisa Jewell, The Family Upstairs

“It might be depressing, but it's also the truth that no one has the power, the money, or the resources to save everyone on the planet from going hungry, living in poverty or allowed basic human rights.

“I’d been feeling like this for a while; the continual looking back the stuckness of it all. I blamed it on the coming new year only 4 1/2 months away when the clocks would read zero and we would start again, could start again, but I knew we wouldn’t. Nothing would. The world would be the same, just a little bit worse.”
Sarah Winman, When God Was a Rabbit

Avijeet Das
“The World is currently suffering in the Covid 19 Pandemic. The situation that all of us are in could be handled in a different way. May be the leaders of all the countries are not being able to recognise that they are going around in circles.

Perhaps the leaders need to apply an Out-Of-Circle Thinking Process.”
Avijeet Das

“We're innocent, but the weight of the world is on our shoulders
We're innocent, but the battles left us are far from over
We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies and ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs that threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
And even if we try and not become too overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still, our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we, and never wonder why”
Dexter Holland
