"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Sometimes we must interfere. . . There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention . . . writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the left and by the right." Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Speech, 1986, Oslo.

Quote of the day -- 8-11-09 -- for writers
"All of writing is a huge lake. There are great rivers
that feed the lake [...] And then there are mere trickles
[...] All that matters is feeding the lake. I don't matter.
The lake matters. You must keep feeding the lake."
