Quote by Edwina Gateley

“Will you be to us, so self-assured of healthy body, a person to be spurned and rejected, doubly disabled by our prejudice and fears? For we rarely open our hearts to people like you, sister. Nor have we crafted our world to accommodate your bent form. So you must creep around our perimeters, seeking access, a way into our spaces. You must double-check entrances, exits, stairs and heights to see if they welcome you or leave you standing helpless, like an infant before a rising cliff. Will we slip past you, embarrassed? Or will we see in you a graced opportunity to stretch our own crippled spirits, recognizing your inherent dignity, and respecting the courage of your endless silent struggle to be part of a world not fashioned for your infirmity?”

“Every human being has rights, but the most important right is the right to live. Beyond that, there are many other rights. Make sure you know your rights. However, knowing and exercising your rights doesn’t mean you should infringe upon or violate other people's rights. No right supersedes another person's rights. We all have equal rights. Every person should know their rights. We are a danger to ourselves and those around us if we don’t know what we should know.”

“Criminals are using non governmental organizations as fronts for their activities. Criminals are exploiting NGOs, NPOs, foundations, and commissions to undermine the government and the people. These organizations should be banned when they violate the law, oppose the government, or act against the interests of citizens, especially when they consistently side with lawbreakers instead of serving the public good. Many of these organizations are allegedly being used as vehicles for embezzlement and money laundering.”

“One of the greatest double standards is how some people are willing to trade their morals, values, dignity, and even personal pain for money. For them, shame or the difference between right and wrong becomes secondary, as long as there is compensation. Often, the pursuit isn't truly about justice, but about making someone pay, because they feel they are owed something. In many cases, it's not justice they seek, but a form of payment.”

“As Kate laments the loss of the singularly most profound love of her life, she watches the black ravens gather in a circle around her, dragging their wings in ritualized fashion as they dance to the beat of ancient drums, pounding out the story of ageless lamentation.”
