“Our world cannot be complete without you, and without hearing what you have to say. True justice cannot exist without compassion; compassion cannot exist without understanding. But no one will understand you unless you speak, and are able to speak clearly (Sister Janet to the students, page 155).” WorldAbleSpeakUnderstandingJusticeCompassionStudentsPagesHearingOur WorldWithout YouTrue Justice Book:True Notebooks: A Writer's Year at Juvenile Hall Source: True Notebooks: A Writer's Year at Juvenile Hall
