Quote by Laura Hillenbrand

“But on Kwajalein, the guards sought to deprive them of something that had sustained them even as all else had been lost: dignity. This self-respect and sense of self-worth, the innermost armament of the soul, lies at the heart of humanness; to be deprived of it is to be dehumanized, to be cleaved from, and cast below, mankind.”

Second, she should be left alone to lead such a life as has been left to her. If this seems paradoxical, then very well.”
