“On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.” WorldFirstsWellsForeverFireBloodChangedBrokenForgottenAncientNineSymbolsKneesDragonsTowersProphecyBentBannerReborn Author:Robert Jordan

“One of the ongoing crises in America is institutional racism. We have a very broken criminal justice system. We live in a country where there are more people in jail than any other country on Earth. There are some 2.2 million people currently incarcerated and they are disproportionally African American and Hispanic. Unarmed African Americans have been abused and sometimes killed while in police custody. Clearly these are issues that must be dealt with and changed.” PeopleHas BeensCountrySometimesEarthAmericaJusticeMillionsIssuesChangedBrokenRacismPoliceCrisisCriminalsAfrican AmericanJailOther CountriesOngoingJustice SystemHispanicCriminal JusticeCriminal Justice SystemUnarmedCustodyInstitutional Racism Author:Bernie Sanders
“We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then.

I looked then and saw that his robes, which had seemed white, were not so, but were woven of all colours, and if he moved they shimmered and changed hue so that the eye was bewildered. I liked white better,' I said. White!' he sneered. 'It serves as a beginning. White cloth may be dyed. The white page can be overwritten; and the white light can be broken.'

“In a healthy individual, a broken bone that has healed properly is strongest where it was once broken. You have not lost any life, Henry told himself. You will still get your fair share of years. Yet the quality of his life changed. Once you've been struck by violence, you acquire companions that never leave you entirely: Suspicion, Fear, Anxiety, Despair, Joylessness. The natural smile is taken from you and the natural pleasures you once enjoyed lose their appeal.” YearsStillsIndividualLostLosesNaturalPleasureQualityTakenViolenceShareChangedBrokenHealthyDespairAnxietyFairsBonesEnjoyedAppealsAcquireCompanionStrongestSuspicionHealedFair ShareBroken Bone Author:Yann Martel
