• Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of
truth and love has always won. There may be
tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may
seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail.
Think of it ... always.
• Is goodness stronger than evil? Does love always
succeed, does justice win? Only because we don't
let the story end. Only because we don't give up.
Only because we keep on trying. Only because we
regular people. Thank you
