I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

  • -- Elie Wiesel 埃利·维瑟尔

我发誓,无论何时何地,只要有人忍受痛苦和羞辱,我绝不保持沉默。我们必须始终站在任何一方。中立帮助压迫者,而不是受害者。沉默鼓励受折磨的人,而不是受折磨的人。
