“A thousand times, people may have touched each other, but never ever sensed a single vein of oneness or complicity in the wilderness of their inner world, since obdurate mental impediments have been barricading the road to understanding and propinquity.

“They want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. They want us to barricade our doors and hide our children. Their aim is to make us fear life itself! They want us to hate. They want us to hate 'the other'. They want us to practice aggression and perfect antagonism. Their aim is to divide us all! They want us to be inhuman. They want us to throw out our kindness. They want us to bury our love and burn our hope. Their aim is to take all our light! They think their bricked walls will separate us. They think their damned bombs will defeat us. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that my soul and your soul are old friends. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that when they cut you I bleed. They are so ignorant they don’t understand that we will never be afraid, we will never hate and we will never be silent for life is ours!” LoveLifeInspirationalKindChildrenWarSoulHomeLightInspirationGovernmentHateHumanityHopePoliticsFearPeaceChangeCommunityDarkSilenceKindnessDarknessMediaIgnoranceRevolutionArmsFriendsTrumpBattleConflictHumanHatredMurderAimUnitySilentDefeatHungerScaredCorruptionScaryActivismSeparationIgnorantOnenessBombsHopefulProtestHopelessDivisionActivistGenocideRebelFightScarExecutionAggressionSolidarityWholenessHopelessnessPoliticiansOne LoveHostilityHumaneRebelliousUnderstandKamandKojouriKillKamand KojouriRevoltFamineCorruptAfraidAnnihilationInhumanAdvocacyDonald TrumpUnionDoorHideAnimosityWar QuotesBurnCamaraderieUnity QuotesAntagonismWallsHumannessOthernessMassacreHousesInhumaneBombSeparateLove WinsCutBleedExtortionObjectDivideBuryFutileExecuteLife PoemsLove RevolutionOutcryDisapproveObliterateHope PoemsObjectionSolidarity QuotesWar PoemsAnnihilateBarricadeOne NationUnity PoemsOne EarthSolidarity PoemsLove Trumps WarNo Wall Author:Kamand Kojouri
“Relegated as he was to a corner and as though sheltered behind the billiard table, the soldiers, their eyes fixed upon Enjolras, had not even noticed Grantaire, and the sergeant was preparing to repeat the order: 'Take aim!' when suddenly they heard a powerful voice cry out beside them, 'Vive la Republique! Count me in.' Grantaire was on his feet. The immense glare of the whole combat he had missed and in which he had not been, appeared in the flashing eyes of the transfigured drunkard. He repeated, 'Vive la Republique!' crossed the room firmly, and took his place in front of the muskets beside Enjolras. 'Two at one shot,' he said. And, turning toward Enjolras gently, he said to him, 'Will you permit it?' Enjolras shook his hand with a smile. The smile had not finished before the report was heard. Enjolras, pierced by eight bullets, remained backed up against the wall is if the bullets had nailed him there. Except that his head was tilted. Grantaire, struck down, collapsed at his feet.” InspirationalRevolutionGrantaireEnjolrasBarricade Book:Les Misérables Source: Les Misérables
“This barricade is made neither of paving stones, nor of timbers, nor of iron; it is made of two mounds, a mound of ideas and a mound of sorrows. Here misery encounters the ideal. Here the day embraces the night, and says: I will die with you and you will be born again with me.” EnjolrasLes Amis D AbcBarricade Book:Les Misérables Source: Les Misérables
