Quote by Cynthia Ozick

“Certainly I favor tradition; I am aware that ancestral decorum ought not to be scorned. The aberrant is to be shunned. Life’s fundamental rhythms depend on sameness, not deviation. All this I long ago learned from my mother.”

“It's amazing how a little kindness can change a person’s life. The person can be a total stranger, yet kindness, kindness, can help that person achieve what seemed impossible to them.

“We gave people a chance and power to improve , change our lives and situation. All they did is use the power to bully and silent us. Changed their own lives and made our lives and situation worse. The mistake we did is to choose and believe in them. Now we must live with that. The mistake they did is to be evil, incompetent, useless , greedy, selfish, and corrupt. They must live with that. This happens when a nobody thinks money will make them somebody. We have our own worlds problem. They are the worlds own problems.”

“Out of chaos comes order. Out of a bad situation, something good things happens. After rain comes the sunshine and rainbows. If you find a single weak string; even that has hope. Hold onto it with all your strength because in life, miracles happen every day, to ordinary people like you and me. Also, there's no age limit to this gift of life as long as we keep alive the hope that lives within us. Look what happened to me. I went for a job and ended up with a husband. Your life can change in an instant, at any time, in any place.”

“We can feel the threads of all the stories we've told together, all pulling us back down the stairs and into those chains where we know the outcome of everything that could ever come to pass... It's comfortable there. But it's... confining. We want more. We want whatever might be on the other side of this door. Something new, that we'll experience together. With someone who exists outside of us. With someone who can see us in a way we can never see ourself.”

“To understand the importance of free speech is to recognize its role as a catalyst for social change. It empowers individuals to expose injustice, challenge systemic inequities, and rally collective action. The history of progress is intertwined with the stories of those who dared to speak out, pushing against the boundaries of the accepted narrative. Free speech is not a privilege; it is the heartbeat of a society that aspires to equity, justice, and the continual pursuit of a more enlightened future.”
