I swore to never 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 (b. 1928) Romanian-American novelist
Nobel Prize acceptance speech (10 Dec 1986)
